About

In 1989 Derek Jarman made a series of short Super-8 films that were blown up to 70mm to be used as projections for the Pet Shop Boys' MCMLXXXIX tour. These included 'Opportunities', 'Heart', 'Paninaro', 'It's a Sin', 'Domino Dancing (Alternative mix)', 'King's Cross' and 'Always on my Mind'. Two additional films were made to be used at a special benefit concert by the Pet Shop Boys and Derek Jarman at Manchester's Haçienda nightclub in May 1992: 'Violence (Haçienda version)' that used an edit of Jarman's A Garden in Luxor 1973 and 'Being boring' which used Studio Bankside 1970-72. The suite of films was released on VHS as 'Projections' (1993). Ironically, the projection for 'Nothing Has Been Proved' was not included, even though Jarman would write in his diaries that it was "the only good one".
