Video - Super 8 and Mini DV – 4 mins
The film attempts to invoke a sense of the past via the
here-and-now. Drawing on my own extensive Super 8 archive and a growing
body of Mini DV footage the film portrays a fragmented and nostalgic
view of a part of the world that has proved vital to the very fabric of
my existence.
Amongst the sonic flotsam and jetsam lie littoral
truths, half-truths and coastal myths. Both melancholic and absurd the
‘coastcard’ is a confusing missive from a place of hope.
It is a reminisce and flawed celebration. Hastings as a
place where both memories and people are pulled towards the sea in a
strange state of ‘reverse evolution’.
