Mark Jordan filmed Derek Jarman for his solo exhibition Queer at Manchester Art Gallery in 1992 and went on to make a documentary for Granada TV entitled The Last Paintings of Derek Jarman, which was shown to coincide with the exhibition Evil Queen at The Whitworth in 1994. Mark’s new film Leaving Time features footage shot for Queer, including Jarman’s take on morality, the tabloid press and the terminology applied to people’s sexuality. It also shows intimate footage of Jarman in his studio during the creation of his final series of paintings. The footage is overlaid with a soundtrack by Moongoose, Mark Jordan and Yorkie.
