Archipelago

Edward (Tom Hiddleston) arrives on the Scilly Isles, a remote group of islands off England’s south-western coast. There, his mother and sister wish to bid him farewell before he volunteers in Africa for a year. At their rustic home, the family are joined by a cook Rose and a painting teacher Christopher, but they only serve to heighten the focus on the family’s fears, neurotic episodes and small-minded snobbism.

Joanna Hogg Retrospective

From 8 January through 4 February, Eye will highlight the oeuvre of British photographer, screenwriter, and filmmaker Joanna Hogg. During these four weeks, all of Joanna Hogg's films will be screened.

Hogg will visit Eye for two talks: on 27 January, a special evening dedicated to her working methods, inspirations, and collaborations will take place. Using excerpts from her films, ranging from her earliest (previously unseen) cinematic experiments to her most contemporary work, recurring themes in her work will be explored. Her first and last short films will also be screened.

On 28 January, a conversation between Tilda Swinton and Joanna Hogg will go into how their lives, particularly the relationship between mothers and daughters, influenced the films they made together, such as The Souvenir and The Eternal Daughter. On 28 January, Swinton and Hogg will introduce a screening of The Souvenir.
