Leaving Time features footage originally shot by director Mark Jordan in 1992 for Jarman’s solo exhibition Queer at Manchester Art Gallery, including Jarman’s take on morality, the tabloid press and the terminology applied to people’s sexuality. It presents this alongside intimate footage of Jarman in his studio during the creation of his final series of paintings and offers a new audience the opportunity to hear the filmmaker discussing his Queer politics and the art that came from his personal experiences.
