Bogancloch will continue the ongoing project between the filmmaker and Jake Williams, a man who has lived in the middle of Clashindaroch Forest for the past four decades. The film will fall somewhere between fiction and documentary, showing quotidian aspects of his life, alongside constructed episodes of a more fictional and even dream-like nature, with other characters showing up, such as a singing group of ramblers. It will begin in a classroom, with Jake teaching a cosmic looking science experiment, and end moving out into the cosmos. Along the way there will be fire, snow, rain, roadkill and other unexpected things, filmed on b/w 16mm and 35mm film, hand-processed. This technical aspect fits with Jake’s environment, being physical, open to accident and chance, and dirt.
