For Peter Watkins (1935-2025)
From Autonomies
Peter Watkins’ recent death (30/10/2025) was the occasion to recall how much his films conveyed a radical sense of history, and in their very “artificiality”, a portrait of anarchic creativity. Our debt to Watkins is considerable and we remember him here – as we have done in the past – with an essay by the historian David Armitage and a selection of his films and interviews.
