Genre: DOCUMENTARY
WRITER/DIRECTOR: Terence Davies of Essex

A poetic, visual journey of a Liverpool
the director left behind,
comparing past to present.
LIVERPOOL AUTEUR TERENCE DAVIES is one of the most respected and recognized British filmmakers in cinema today. His films have garnered recognition from all the A List festivals around the world.
Terence came to world prominence with his uncompromising dramatic interpretations of post war Liverpool. His trilogy of films, and specifically Distant Voices Still Lives, created a visual feast that stands out as one of the most powerful and evocative tableaus of working class life in fifties Liverpool.
The film was based on his memories of childhood and adolescence in Liverpool during the 50s and 60s, a time when Liverpool’s grandeur on the world stage was beginning to fade.
Time and the City will see him revisit those memories, but using archive material and music to create an ethereal documentary journey through the Liverpool of his memories, marking comparisons to present day. Liverpool ‘s answer to Koyaanisqatsi will be a visual poem molded by a maestro.
