A Sudden Glimpse to Deeper Things explores the pivotal 1949 experience atop Switzerland’s Grindelwald glacier that reshaped British modernist Barns-Graham’s artistic perspective for decades to come.
Born in St Andrews, Barns-Graham was a member of the St Ives group of modernist artists. The glacier paintings inspired by her experience in Switzerland were the breakthrough in her artistic career. Through a cinematic immersion into her art and life, the film explores themes of gender, neurodiversity, climate change, and the nature of creativity from youth to old age.
