Intervals
INTERVALS is the Peter Greenaway’s self-described “attempt” at creating an entertaining, abstract film; a series of bustling streetscapes from that most photogenic of cities, Venice. Using a self-conscious experiment in frame rate and a structure borrowed from the most Venetian of concertos (Antonio Vivaldi’s "Four Seasons"),...Start your free trial to watch

Windows
Peter Greenaway goes macabre and slightly political in this darkly funny early short. Inspired by a 1960s headline involving a rash of mysterious fatalities among South African inmates, WINDOWS wryly unspools the stories of thirty-seven people who fell to their deaths from windows. Juxtaposing these often humorous statistics...Start your free trial to watch

H is for House
Returning to the house in his earlier film WINDOWS, Peter Greenaway demonstrates his love of the English countryside and displays a distinctive (if rare) autobiographical self with H IS FOR HOUSE.

A Walk Through H
One man’s "hell" is another man’s "heaven" in what has been described as ”one of the best British movies of the decade.” A WALK THROUGH H traverses a series of ninety-two maps, painted by filmmaker Peter Greenaway himself, that guide a deceased ornithologist into the afterlife. Reoccurring motifs of...Start your free trial to watch

The Falls
Standing at a pivotal point in his filmography, poised between his earlier, witty shorts and the unique pleasures of his post-DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT oeuvre, THE FALLS is arguably the most significant film of Peter Greenaway’s prolific career.
