A historic Magna Carta document from 1216, displayed in a protective frame on a wooden table. The parchment is aged and inscribed with dense medieval Latin text. A large green wax seal hangs below the document, attached with red-brown cords. The background shows antique wooden furniture and a chair.

Filming Durham Cathedral’s 1216 Magna Carta was a rare honour. This fragile document helped shape democracy and still resonates today. Capturing its texture and glow on film brought history to life—an 800-year-old story still shaping the present.

So good to be back in Berlin and attend the first screening of a documentary I have been shooting over the last three years. Now time to relax in Berlin and enjoy Kreuzberg’s nightlife. 🍻

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. I’ve been looking forward to seeing this for a while! Huge CC fan and Detroit Techno lover. I will watch it at a cinema somewhere up north. If you are going to see him at The Jazz Cafe in Camden I will be there too. Good luck with promoting the film and the man’s genius.
