• Finlay Pretsell’s first feature, Time Trial, chronicled disgraced Scottish cyclist David Millar in his last year as a professional rider at the Tour De France.
• His new film Douglas Gordon By Douglas Gordon is just as insightful, a portrait of the Scottish artist behind such works as 24 Hour Psycho and Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait.
• The result is a fascinating deconstruction of the documentary process, with Pretsell both charmed and exasperated by his mercurial and temperamental subject.
