A BIGGER SPLASH
(1974, Colour) Director: Jack Hazan
".....it will live up to its title - for it is far more than a documentary record of David Hockney at work. Paints and canvas play their part in it all right, but not as much as the emotional ties between people - and the emotional separations......."
David Hockney is the best-known British artist of his generation; hit wit and versatility have made him a popular figure in and out of the art world. A Bigger Splash, which draws its title from one of Hockney's trademark paintings of a California swimming pool, follows his break-up with fellow painter Peter Schlesinger and captures the essence of the artist.

REMEMBER A DAY (UK, 2000). Director: Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon.
Remember a Day is a film narrating the acid excesses of a late Sixties rock star - turned -recluse Roger Bannerman, a Daa man 'going far further than you ever could imagine', a character not unlike Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett. Despite having effectively retired, Bannerman is being stalked by an unhinged fan who's determined to 're-launch' Roger no matter what it takes, no matter how many laws are broken... Laced with black humor , drugs, psychedelic imagery, groupie sex and featuring a stunning soundtrack - that includes works by the Pink Floyd, Captain Beefheart and The Sex Pistols. Remember a Day is an early seventies period piece shot by the people who's story it essentially is.
