Ben Rivers is without doubt one of the most exciting visual artists and filmmakers currently working in the UK. Two Years at Sea is his debut feature, a beautiful, quietly observed documentary about a man living a life of solitude in a remote forest in rural Scotland. Handsomely shot on black-and-white 16mm, Two Years at Sea immerses the viewer in the gentle rhythms of Williams’ daily life, gradually building up a portrait of an intriguing character whose story would otherwise have passed us by. A hit with critics, Two Years at Sea won the FIPRESCI Prize for best film at Venice Film Festival 2011.
Preceded by short film Fini (29m) directed by Jacob Secher Schulsinger, winner of the Glasgow Short Film Festival Bill Douglas Award for International Short Film 2012.
