KEIGHLEY Film Club is hosting a film covering the early years of famous artist David Hockney.
Hockney, directed by Randall Knight, is described as a joyful, sensitive, intimate and candid docu- portrait of the Yorkshireman.
The screening at Keighley Picture House is in conjunction this month’s International Film Summit in Bradford and coincides with a new Hockney exhibition at Salts Mill.
The film covers Hockney’s early influences in Bradford, key inspirational artists, the emergence of the British Pop Art scene, and the experience of being gay when the AIDS crisis took hold in California.
The 15-certificate film covers Hockney’s use of new technology including fax machines, photocopiers, polaroid and digital cameras.
But it also highlight the man’s cheeky spirit, honest appraisal and sense of fun. Hockney will be screened at the North Street cinema on March 15 at 6pm.
