"Hazan’s 106-minute documentary created a template for what, a quarter-century later, would be known as reality television." – The New York Times on A Bigger Splash

Part documentary, part staged drama, filmmaker Jack Hazan's 1973 film offers a portrait of British pop artist David Hockney, his relationship with artist Peter Schlesinger, and the making of the painting that would go on to break a record for the auction price for a living artist's work. A 4K restoration of A Bigger Splash screens Sunday, December 29 at 1 PM.
