Edgeland Mutter

The film attempts to invoke a sense of the past via the hereandnow Drawing on my own extensive Super 8 archive and a growing body of Mini DV footage the film portrays a fragmented and nostalgic view of a part of the world that has proved vital to the very fabric of my existence Amongst the sonic flotsam and jetsam lie littoral truths halftruths and coastal myths Both melancholic and absurd the coastcard is a confusing missive from a place of hope It is a reminisce and flawed celebration Hastings as a place where both memories and people are pulled towards the sea in a strange state of reverse evolution Andrew Kötting
