‘The Floating Cinema On Tour’ presents a brand new summer
programme of open air and on-board film screenings, performances, talks and events created for the waterways of the
South East and West of England.
The Floating Cinema will begin its epic journey from Brentford Lock,
travelling along the Kennet & Avon Canal, across West Berkshire and
Wiltshire, before taking up residency in Bristol. The ‘On Tour’ theme
celebrates the diversity of urban and rural living, a slower pace
of life and encourages a playful discovery of local landscapes and
heritage through archive film and music. The programme explores
the histories, myths and legends along the route including Reading’s
rock hall-of-fame, Wiltshire’s world-famous crop circles, and
alternative trade in historic market town, Newbury.
The return journey will feature new work by artist-in-residence
Yann Seznec who will create a floating library of forgotten sounds
during the outward journey, to be performed on the return.
Filmmakers Somewhere will also premiere their new film Repeat to
Flourish – a visual odyssey of the Kennet and Avon Canal’s industrial
past, subsequent decline and present day renaissance.
‘The Floating Cinema On Tour’ is curated by UP Projects with artist
duo Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie (Somewhere) and supported by
the BFI, awarding funds from the National Lottery, Arts Council
England and Canal & River Trust.
