Derek Jarman: A Portrait

Derek Jarman is a uniquely British outsider: a painter, film-maker and a self-appointed enfant terrible with a paradoxical affection for tradition. He makes films as a painter or poet, rather than as a conventional film-maker; his subject matter includes Shakespeare's 'Tempest', a critique of Great Britain in Jubilee year, and 'Sebastiane', an openly gay interpretation of the saint's martyrdom. The programme includes clips from all his work, including his latest film, 'The Garden'.
