David Hockney: A Bigger Picture (Double Feature)

Filmed over three years with unprecedented access, this documentary follows David Hockney as he returns to England after 25 years in Hollywood.  As Hockney approaches the age of 70, he revitalizes his painting, capturing the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in all weathers and seasons, and finally creates the largest picture ever made outdoors.  Premiered on BBC1, the film tells the story of an unusual homecoming and also an intimate portrait of what inspires Hockney as his time runs out.

Bonus Features includes:

– David Hockney Paints “Late November Tunnel, 2006”
– David Hockney Reflects on Art and Life
– Leading British Art Figures Assess “Bigger Trees near Warter”
– The Making of the Documentary

Discussion Session to follow the screening of both films.
