  • Summary: Using old 16mm cameras, artist Ben Rivers creates work from stories of real people, often those who have disconnected from the normal world and taken themselves into wilderness territories. Two Years at Sea extends Ben's relationship with Jake, a man first encountered in his short film This Is My Land. He lives alone in a ramshackle house, in the middle of the forest. It's full of stuff that might come in useful someday. Jake has a tremendous sense of purpose as he works around the house and surrounding forest and moorland. Rivers' witty and gracefully-constructed film creates an intimate connection with an individual who might otherwise be hard to get to know if we met him face-to-face. (Soda Pictures)… Expand

    Mileage will vary from viewer to viewer as to whether this singularly eccentric movie is ultimately illuminating or enervating.

    The stillness and silence with which we look upon Jake Williams ranges from curious to unnerving to fascinating.
