Dir: Andrew Kötting | 1' 44 | 1996
Filmmaker Andrew Kötting sets off on a journey around the UK coastline with his spirited 85-year-old grandmother Gladys and his daughter Eden, who has Joubert Syndrome and communicates through sign language. The growing closeness between these two unfolds in unpredictable ways, set against everyone they come across on these travels.
Embracing chaos and absurdity, Kötting creates a joyous, irreverent and tender journey that explores place, family, and difference.Shot on Super 8 and other lo-fi formats, the film also captures eccentric coastal communities, and fleeting encounters. Gallivant is a unique, quietly radical portrait of Britain and the ties that hold us together.
Andrew Kötting will be present for an in-person Q&A
