Friday 9 April 2010, 13.00

This intimate portrait of Gorky by his granddaughter Cosima Spender includes interviews with Mougouch Gorky, the artist’s widow, about their life together. Charting Gorky’s development as a painter, Spender considers the impact of his surroundings on his work, from the traumas of his Armenian childhood via his New York studio on to exploring how the Virginia and Connecticut countryside triggered breakthroughs in his painting. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
