Jonathan Meades – Dictators and Scotland
In Joe Building (2006) and Jerry Building (1994) Meades probes the cultural imagination of totalitarianism, from strolling through the ruins of Nazi-built holiday resorts, to hectoring busts of Stalin in Soviet sculpture parks. This is followed by his compelling trilogy of Scottish films, Off-Kilter (2009). The event will feature an introduction by Jonathan Meades and a conversation between the film-maker, Chris Petit and Douglas Murphy. |
