ABOUT THE FILM

"In the newly-restored alternative British road movie Gallivant, the director Andrew Kötting sets off on a wandering, eventful journey around the British coastline accompanied by his granny and young daughter Eden."
— Watershed summary

"The idiosyncratic films of wandering British filmmaker Andrew Kötting are often a mixture of experimental travelogue—exploring on foot being a key feature of his work—and portraits of eccentric communities, all told through a collage approach to visuals and sound."

"Gallivant is a highly distinctive and revelatory documentary. Breaking apart the form of more typical travelogues, it lives up to its title as we follow the director on a journey around the coastline of Britain in the company of his grandmother Gladys and his daughter Eden.

"Filled with chance and improvisation, the film sets down the blueprint for many subsequent low-budget British films built on journeys...
"A collection of wonderful and uniquely personal postcards, ... people and places are portrayed with a sense of anything being possible.

" ... finding unusual and interesting characters to talk to, Kötting’s films explore aspects of the British Isles that feel vividly real yet which are rarely seen on screen without melodrama or condescension."
