Two Years at Sea

Black and white observational portrait of Jake Williams, a man living a solitary life in deep in the Aberdeenshire wilds, Scotland. Winner of the Critics Prize at the 2011 Venice Film Festival.

"Jake lives in the middle of the forest. He goes for walks in whatever the weather, and takes naps in the misty fields and woods. He builds a raft to spend time sitting in a loch. He sleeps in a caravan that floats up a tree. He is seen in all seasons, surviving frugally, passing the time with strange projects, living the radical dream he had as a younger man, a dream he spent two years working at sea to realise." (New York Film Festival)
