Released as part of Jarman2014, a year-long series of events in London, UK, celebrating the work of filmmaker, painter and activist Derek Jarman', as well as the 20th anniversary of his death from AIDS-related causes.
An investigation into Derek Jarman's unorthodox creative process and filmmaking ethos, the film is divided in ten segments or "commandments":
- Remember the home movie and always keep Super 8 holy;
- Thou shalt not worship false profits;
- Thou shalt enjoy the ride;
- Thou shalt make thy films in thine own likeness;
- Thou shalt go with the flow;
- Thou shalt be fearless;
- Thou shalt honour the art of design;
- Thou shalt remember film is a wedding of light and matter;
- Thou shalt seek the rainbow's end;
- Thou shalt not make thyself a martyr for thine art;
The small house featured in the film's opening sequence is Prospect Cottage, Derek Jarman's former home in Dungeness, UK.
The boy that peeks into the window in the film's opening sequence is played by Samuel Kimpton-Nye, son of director Andy Kimpton-Nye.
