A film bringing to life a brilliant but grossly undervalued British artist is screening in Bridport.
Eric Ravilious: Drawn to War can be seen at Bridport Electric Palace on Friday, September 23 at 7pm.
Set against the dramatic wartime locations that inspire him, Margy Kinmonth’s film brings to life this the work of Ravilious.
Caught in the crossfire of war 80 years ago, Ravilious’s legacy largely sank without trace, until now.

Made with the blessing of the Ravilious Estate, this first full length feature documentary about Ravilious unfolds in his own words, through previously unseen private correspondence and rare archive film.
Shot entirely on location in the UK, Portugal and Ireland, the film features Ai Weiwei, Alan Bennett, Grayson Perry, Robert Macfarlane with Freddie Fox, Tamsin Greig and many more.
Following the screening there will be a Q&A with director Margy Kinmonth and featured artist Robin Mackenzie.
Tickets cost £10 in advance and on the door.
