David Hockney Talk @ RCA

30 January – DAVID HOCKNEY: A BIGGER PICTURE: A documentary film, and after, a Q and A with David Hockney and Bruno Wollheim

To coincide with David Hockney's major solo show at the Royal Academyopening in January 2012, Bruno Wollheim will talk about the detailed processes of making his documentary. Shot single-handedly over three years and with unprecedented access, the film follows Hockney’s efforts to disengage from photography and find artistic and spiritual renewal by working outside for the first time, presenting a perceptive examination of the creative process and an intimate account of what inspires and motivates this world-famous artist as time runs out. Bruno Wollheim is an independent documentary film-maker with a special interest in the visual arts and social policy and has made many films for the BBC and Channel 4. He has known David Hockney for 25 years. The film is 60 minutes.
