Ben Rivers, Bogancloch, 2024, DCP 2K, colour and black and white (film still).
Over a decade on from Two Years at Sea (2011), Ben Rivers' new film Bogancloch (2024) returns to Jake Williams' home, nestled in a vast highland forest of Scotland. The film portrays his life throughout the seasons, with other people occasionally crossing into his otherwise solitary life. Charting a subtly changing life in a radically changing world.
'I made one of my first shorts and my first feature with Jake Williams. I like the idea of returning to a person and seeing how we repeat gestures, obsessions, but also to see how these change because of how the world has changed.' Ben Rivers
The UK premiere of Bogancloch will take place at Edinburgh International Film Festival, 18 August 2024.
