Ben Rivers, 2024, 86 min

Followed by Q&A with the filmmaker moderated by Gareth Evans (22/08 only)

Bogancloch is where modern-day hermit Jake Williams lives, nestled in one of Scotland’s vast highland forests. 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.
