A film which threatens to expose the truth about John Clearwater is to be shown at Terracina Gallery tomorrow (Tuesday November 27) at 7.30pm as part of The View From Here: a celebration of moving image in South Devon.
The presentation will be followed by a talk by the filmmaker Clive Austin, who interviewed more than 40 people for his film, The Gaps Between. This is his fourth feature and in a novel move that could be mimicked by other artists, all those interviewed were invited to undertake their own showing of the film, and it’s been quite successful.
“There has been a democratisation of film production, but not distribution,’ said Clive. ‘There’s youtube and other sharing websites, but these are virtual. This was just one solution and for the most part I think people enjoyed it.’
To describe his career the enigmatic Clive says he used to be a mountineer but now he’s a filmmaker, and he’s typically taciturn about his future projects, but who knows what beans he’ll spill during his post film talk.
Whet your appetite and watch the trailer.
