About

A documentary portrait of video artist Douglas Gordon, directed by Finlay Pretsell, in which Gordon takes over the director’s role and blurs reality and performance.

Douglas Gordon is a documentary portrait of the artist Douglas Gordon, directed by Finlay Pretsell. Gordon, a video artist and Turner Prize winner, appears as himself. The film presents an intimate view of his creative mind and develops as a dialogue between filmmaker and subject. In that exchange Gordon takes over the directorial role, filling the portrait with confessions, insights and blatant fabrications. As the line between reality and performance blurs, the shifting relationship between Pretsell and Gordon calls into question who is actually making the film.
