WHAT DO ARTISTS DO ALL DAY?
PETER JACKSON

BBC FOUR, 2018

Producer-Director

A rare, intimate portrait of Peter Jackson at work, going behind the scenes of They Shall Not Grow Old to reveal a filmmaker obsessively resurrecting the past. With extraordinary access to his private facilities in Wellington, the film follows Jackson experimenting with cutting edge restoration, colourisation and sound design, transforming fragile century old footage into vivid, living history. More than a technical showcase, it offers a glimpse into his personal connection to the First World War and a meticulous creative process that turns archival fragments into an immersive human story.
