about

The soundtrack to the story of the extraordinary friendship between one of Scotland’s greatest film makers and his lifelong companion and collaborator Peter Jewell. In this documentary Peter reminisces about the life he shared with Bill Douglas, their meeting in the Egyptian desert and their lifelong passion for movies which lead them to start experimenting with an 8mm camera. His memories and musings about Bill’s legacy are illustrated with these never-before-seen short films.

Minimalism, ambient, classical, 60s pop and the baroque form a playful soundtrack which captures the eclectic output of the duos never-before-seen early film experiments. The film premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival where it was nominated for Venezia Classici Award for Best Documentary on Cinema.
