Glasgow Artists’ Moving Image Studios are hosting a screening of The Garden accompanied by an introductory talk at The Batson Street Laboratory as part of the Govanhill International Festival and Carnival.

This intimate insight into director Derek Jarman's inner world was shot on fragile Super8 with the help of friends and collaborators, movingly utilising a cast of iconic, religious figures that include Jesus, Judas and the Madonna.

Shifting from the personal to the political, it culminates in a near-mythic exploration of sexual repression at the end of the 20th century. Increasingly ill by this point, Jarman faces his mortality with poetry and dignity.

This film will be introduced by Jarman’s long-term collaborator and producer James Mackay.
