Derek Jarman was born in Northwood, Middlesex, England, on January 31, 1942. He was a filmmaker, visual artist, designer, writer, activist and gardener. His ethereal films often deal with archetypal and mythic themes charged with homoeroticism. He collaborated widely on films, theatrical productions and music videos before his untimely death from HIV/AIDS in 1994. This issue is in collaboration with artist Stuart Sandford, who wrote an original screenplay on Jarman. Sandford is a multidisciplinary artist based between London, Los Angeles and Mexico City.
