'Gallivant' Director: Andrew Kötting (1996) BFI 2-Disc DVD |
Part home movie, part road movie, Kötting’s riveting and eccentric film stars his 85-year-old grandmother Gladys - opinionated, bursting with anecdotes and contradictory reminiscences – and Eden, his eight-year-old daughter with Joubert syndrome, as they take a zig-zagging 6,000 mile trip in their campervan around Britain’s coastline.
Gallivant is a poignant, humorous and mischievous travelogue comprised of 16mm and Super 8 filmstock, found footage, timelapse photography and much non-synchronous sound to reveal a wonderland of bizarre traditions and quirky strangers.
Special features include:
- Eleven short films by Andrew Kötting: Smart Alek, Là Bas, Gallivant (The Pilot), Jaunt, Klipperty Klöpp, Hoi-Polloi, Acumen, H.B. 1929 (his badblöod), Diddyköy, Invalids and Me
- Visionary Landscapes, 2-screen film made in collaboration with Jem Finer, which reworks Super 8 outtakes from Gallivant and combines them with beautifully constructed soundscapes
- Fully illustrated booklet containing the original treatment for Gallivant, essay by Iain Sinclair and film notes by Andrew Kötting
