Bogancloch is an intimate look at the everyday life of Jake, a hermit who has lived in seclusion for more than 40 years in rural Scotland, away from the hustle and bustle of civilization. Made a decade after Ben Rivers’ Two Years at Sea, this film reveals the changes in Jake’s ascetic life. Viewers are invited to immerse themselves in the natural rhythm, and the passage of time, and reflect on the meaning of a life lived in harmony with nature.

“How would time flow if you lived in nature far from civilization completely alone? What would you want from life? What would you wait for? Where would your thoughts wander? These intriguing questions may not find clear answers in this film. Frequent visitor to Lithuania, British filmmaker Ben Rivers invites you to spend four seasons with Jake - singing, soaking in a bathtub, smelling moss, and, for a moment, letting go of thought and judgment.”(Head of Programme Dovilė Grigaliūnaitė)
