Notes
"A once celebrated photographer dies in a Brighton hotel room and the dreams begin. The days with Bacon and the revenants of the Colony Room; Bacon, Freud, Michael Andrews and the rest. In drink, as ever, Deakin spent his dead hours shooting from the screens of afternoon cinemas, assembling fictions for an unlived life. And flogging the myth to magazines. Now traces from the bardo, sea sounds, snatches of dialogue, are recovered through this collaboration."
THE FALCONER (1998, 56 mins) marks a convergence of unreliable witnesses - Matthews, Petit and Sinclair - as they attempt to construct a real fiction from the contradictory legends (and film extracts) offered by egg-smuggler and prolific documentarian Peter Whitehead. A man who always has one more story to tell. Dave McKean layered the graphics. Bruce Gilbert provided the sound design. "Nothing is true and everything is permitted." (Notes by Iain Sinclair).
