The life and home of a solitary man in the highland forests of Scotland is gently observed in this intimate, experimental documentary.
Bogancloch is where modern-day hermit Jake Williams has made his home, nestled in one of Scotland’s vast highland forests. His daily life is captured on different stocks of 16mm film by filmmaker and artist Ben Rivers.
A follow-up to Rivers’ previous portrait of Jake, Two Years at Sea, his latest, utterly mesmerising work also stands on its own – a dreamlike meditation on nature, solitude, the power of music and one individual’s singular approach to life.
Followed by a Q&A with director Ben Rivers.
