Join us for a screening of this technically and conceptually ground-breaking film 

Jack Hazan’s film A Bigger Splash 1974 merged fiction and documentary to convey the inner life of David Hockney, one of Britain’s most celebrated artists. The film has inspired the likes of Scorcese and more than 40 years on, Hazan talks about the work and the echoes in filmmaking today.

This film file is broken and is being removed. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

This special screening of A Bigger Splash (1974) will be followed by a Q&A with the film’s director Jack Hazan and Janet Harbord, Professor of Film Studies at Queen Mary, University of London.

This event has been provided by Tate Gallery on behalf of Tate Enterprises LTD.​
