  Filmed over three years with unprecedented access to the artist, this documentary follows David Hockney as he returns to England after 25 years in Hollywood. As Hockney approaches the age of 70, he revitalizes his painting activity, capturing the beautiful Yorkshire countryside in all weathers and seasons, and finally creates the largest picture ever made outdoors. Originally premiering on BBC1, the film tells the story of an unusual homecoming and is also an intimate portrait of what inspires Hockney as his time runs out.
  Introduction and question-and-answer session with filmmaker Bruno Wollheim
