Two Years At Sea / Bogancloch - Two Films By Ben Rivers Limited Edition Blu-Ray with Slipcover + Booklet (Second Run/Region Free) [Preorder]

Preorder scheduled for release on December 14, 2026

British artist and filmmaker Ben Rivers' bold experimental works lie between documentary and fiction. This two-disc Blu-ray set brings together his films about Jake Williams, a man who lives a life of solitude in the Scottish Highlands, fulfilling the radical dream he had as a younger man. Jake goes about his daily routine in the near-complete absence of any human ties, with Rivers' camera functioning as the lone connection between him and the world beyond his self-imposed isolation. These films chart a subtly changing life in a radically changing world.

Using vintage cameras, a variety of film stocks and processing the films by hand, Rivers' evocative and sensory films dismantle the conventional rules of documentary filmmaking.
