Imagining October

I lit the part of the film that was shot in a flat just off piccadilly circus, I have only seen it once, when it was shown at the London Film Festival. It was shot on video in the UK and I remember that we worked quite hard to get the red to work (red is not a colour that works very well on primitive video equipment). I've never been paid either, despite having one of the production credits. Still, we're not all in it for the money.

Though I saw this short film only twice, this is unforgettable. Derek Jarman went to Moscow with his super-eight camera and shot places, re-creating the film into his usual artistic and impressive image(s). We can buy most of his works on video in Japan, but this one has never been available. Shame.
