Back stroke butterfly, front crawl and bras, we are awash in an ocean of bubbles. Meanwhile Captain Ahab sets sail on his magic carpet in search of the whale. All is not well in the world but Eden is there, fresh from her garden, tuning into “The Far Away Land”. We are deep in the cloud of our own making but help is at hand, and everything might yet be alright.

Filmed over the course of a week in October 2010, the film captures the everyday life of its Joubert syndrome-suffering protagonist, taking in her daily routines of work, play, and therapy, whilst also capturing her admirable joie de vivre against the backdrop of her loving family life.

Gallivant (The Pilot)
Andrew Kötting
This was funded by the Arts Council as a test or pilot for their ‘Long Format Experimenta’ scheme. Although short-listed it was not commissioned as a feature-length project. Andrew Kötting then worked with Ben Woolford of Tall Stories on the idea of including Gladys and Eden as central characters in a version that was eventually developed and realised by the BFI.

Jaunt
Andrew Kötting
"Developed and reduced from the treatment that I had already written for GALLIVANT (THE PILOT), this is a ‘psychogeographical’ derive conducted along the high ways, by ways and waterways of the River Thames. It begins at Southend-on-Sea and ends up by the Houses of Parliament next to Westminster Bridge." – Andrew Kötting
