Dorich: a film by Annaleena Piel Linnå

We are pleased to introduce a new film by London-based Swedish-British filmmaker and multi-disciplinary artist Annaleena Piel Linnå. Titled Dorich, the creative documentary tells the story of how Dora Gordine met Richard Hare and the subsequent inception of Dorich House. This is not the first occasion on which Annaleena has explored the topic. In 2018 she completed Dora Gordine: Ars Gratia Artis, a feature-length biopic on Gordine.  Even so, this story is never quite finished, Piel Linnå tells us. New material is emerging all the time and she has been able to include previously unseen archival findings Dorich, shifting her focus from the sculptor to Gordine and Hare and their home. Lending her voice as the narrator is renowned stage and screen actor Sheila Ruskin.  With thanks to National Lottery players, Dorich was produced with the support of a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant as part of our project The Squatter Years: Recovering Dorich House Museum’s Recent Past.  Visitors can watch the film in the Modelling Studio during public opening hours.
