The Directors is a collaboration between artist Marcus Coates and five individuals in recovery from different lived experiences of psychosis.
The Directors is a collaboration between artist Marcus Coates and five individuals in recovery from different lived experiences of psychosis. Positioned behind the camera, each of them directs Coates in a filmed restaging of a particular episode in their own life.
Following extensive research and discussion, the five short films challenge cultural stigma through an attempt to understand different realities. Each director chose a location of personal significance where Coates was filmed embodying and performing their experiences.
Marcus Coates will visit Cornwall to give talks at CAST on 8 February and at the School of Film and Television at Falmouth University on 9 February.
