Swandown is a travelogue and odyssey of Olympian ambition in which Andrew Kötting (the filmmaker) and Iain Sinclair (the writer) pedal a swan-shaped pedalo from Hastings on the south coast of England via the sea, rivers and canals to London. With modest references to Herzog’s Fitzcarraldo mixed with a little Dadism, the film documents their epic journey, on which they are joined by invited guests who share in the pedaling. En-route they encounter travellers, river-dwellers, outsiders, refuseniks and ordinary passers-by whose reactions are a mixure of amusement, puzzlement and ridicule.
