Film/Video BILL DOUGLAS: A MASTER OF POETIC CINEMA MY WAY HOME DIRECTED BY BILL DOUGLAS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2002 8 PM AUDITORIUM $6 ($4 WALKER MEMBERS) BILL DOUGLAS: A MASTER OF POETIC CINEMA FEBRUARY: 13| 15 At the opening of My Way Home, Jamie returns to the town of Newcraighall from a children's home. His father wants Jamie to live with him, along with his new wife and her callous son. It is a disaster and he returns to his grandmother. When they threaten to send him down the mine, the boy tells his family he wants to be an artist. Concluding the trilogy, Douglas once again brings an account of endurance of the imagination to his autobiographical tale. In his filmmaking, he introduces a narrative sparseness and inclination toward formal elegance that have emerged, for survival's sake, from a childhood dependence on the inherent beauty in the world. 1977, U.K., B/W, 16mm, 78 minutes.
