Preceded by short:Smart Alek (Andrew Kötting, U.K., 1993). Radically disjunctive visuals stoke this story of a tense family car trip that ends in mayhem. With Sean Lock, Patricia Varley. (20 mins, Color, 16mm)"Gallivant": to roam about in search of pleasure or amusement. In this unique travelogue/diary film, filmmaker Andrew Kötting undertakes a three-month, 6,000-mile journey around the British coastline, accompanied by his ninety-year-old grandmother and seven-year-old daughter, who suffers from the mobility and speech-hampering disorder Joubert's Syndrome. Bringing fragmented, accelerated visuals and a playful yet genuine curiosity to the chance encounters and incidents along the way, Gallivant literally traces the outline of Englishness in all its regional diversity, renewing family ties and affections as it surveys the contradictions of a nation.-Gavin Smith
