Another Another World

Save event

Another Another World is a poetic reflection on the transformation of St Ives, Cornwall, over the past 70 years. Inspired by the 1950s documentary Another World, this film revisits the town’s legacy as a haven for artists and fishermen, capturing the evolving identity of a place once romanticised for its idyllic simplicity.

Another Another World explores the cultural shifts that have shaped St Ives – from the counterculture movement of the 1960s to the rise of surf culture in the 1970s and 1980s, the impact of housing booms and rural poverty, the decline of traditional industries, and its eventual global recognition in the art world. The film culminates in the present day, observing those who continue to live and create in the town.

Written and narrated by Danny Fox and directed by Jackson Whitefield, Another Another World is not a remake but a conversation with its predecessor, offering a contemporary meditation on place, memory and change.

Director Jackson Whitefield presents the premiere of his film, Another Another World as part of Danny Fox's exhibition, Kingdom, in The Levinsky Gallery.

Danny Fox

b. 1986, St Ives, Cornwall, UK. Lives and works in St Ives, UK.

Born and raised in St Ives, Cornwall, a coastal county in South West England, Danny Fox’s paintings conjure heartfelt and unflinching portrayals of home, history and myth.

Using bold, near-crude passages of flat vibrant colour infused with quick, worn-out mark-making, Fox’s lyrical and expressionistic style enfuses local buildings, landscapes and townsfolk with the mysticism of local folklore and symbolism. Captured with tragedy, promise, heat, violence, affection and humour, his work celebrates the authenticity and colour of lives lived against the grain. Taking the position of both observer and participant, his work exudes the emotional realism of lived experience, from good cheer to cold and bitter detachment.

His work references time spent living in Los Angeles, road trips taken across England and the wild and wonderful scenes of coastal Britain, from Cornish landmark St. Michaels Mount to the historical tin mines in St. Ives, Gunnard’s Head Hotel to Battery Rocks. Often overlaid with snippets of text and recurring iconography, his work pays homage to historical painters and paintings that have come before him.
