Artefact #3: Swandown – Culled from a Waterbound Journey from Hastings to Hackney

In 1972 a family are on their way for a holiday in Essex. The parents argue and the son swears, making obscene gestures. So the father throws him out, drives on and crashes the car. The grandmother flags down a car with three men in it. Too late she recognises one as the man who shot a neighbour...

"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

"A post punk piece of pagan sensibility, complete with beastiality buggery and boundless energy. Maniacal filmmaking at its best. He takes his horse with him everywhere." Andrew Kötting

IVUL is the extraordinary story of Alex (Jacob Auzanneau), a young man who climbs on to the roof of his house and refuses to ever come back down to earth. His actions devastate his beloved family and we watch as their world falls apart. A dark and mysterious gardener (Tchili from This Filthy Earth) keeps watch over the family but is powerless to exorcise the curse that he feels has befallen them. Meanwhile the twin sisters (Manon and Capucine) provide light but sometimes macabre relief. The world of IVUL is a world of both fairytale and nightmare with the family manor house and forest landscape providing a compelling backdrop to the story.

A sad tale that waxes lyrical, replete with the diabolical bastardisation of various Greek myths.

Part home-movie, part diary, evoking the disembodied voices of the hoi polloi, manifest as an animistic presence within the landscape.

"This film, like everything else nowadays, is magic. I don’t know where he originated from but he’s been sound in our family for years and years and years."
