David Gatten's Secret History Of The Dividing Line: A True Account In
Nine Parts
Hyde Park Picture House | Sunday 4 November | 2pm | £5/4 with tea &
cake & David Gatten in person

David Gatten is one of the most important experimental filmmakers of
our time. Over the last ten years his films have explored the
intersection of the printed word and the moving image. On a rare
visit to the UK he will present the first four films of his ambitious
Byrd project, a series of nine films about letters, lovers, books,
ghosts and the Byrd Family of Virginia during the early 18th century.
Through traditional research methods and non-traditional film
processes, the films trace the contours of both private lives and
public histories, combining elements of philosophy, biography and
poetry with experiments in cinematic form.

Presented by William Rose in association with the Hyde Park Picture
House. With kind thanks Mark Webber and the London Film Festival.
