gallivant (1997)


"the chance to meet people and marvel at the landscape."
An 8mm travelogue, where the director, his mother and his daughter, (who has but a short time to live, due to some unspecified complaint), journey around the coast of Britain, catching snapshots of coversations along the way.
Beautiful to watch, with an underlying sense of our losing touch with the past, a longing for conection, and the impending loss of both his mother and child, make this all the more poignant.
