Filmmaker Andrew Kotting and writer Iain Sinclair have been collaborating on Swandown, a film and arts project documenting their journey from Hastings to Hackney in a swan pedallo using Sussex and Kent waterways. Here is a chance to see clips from the film, planned for release later in 2012, and the two filmmakers discussing the project. Also screening will be a selection of short films by Andrew Kotting, including his previous collaboration with Sinclair Offshore (UK, 2006) about an attempt to swim the English Channel, and Sinclair will be reading from his book Ghost Milk, his powerful statement on the throwaway impermanence of the present with projects such as The Millennium Dome, the Thames Gateway and ultimately the Olympic Park.
