Hi
My documentary about deep topographer Nick Papadimitriou and the edgelands he
venerates, the London Perambulator, is now finished and will be screening as
part of the East End Film Festival at the Whitechapel Gallery Wed 29th April at
7pm. After the screening I'll be doing a panel discussion Will Self, Iain
Sinclair, Andrea Philips - although I'll probably end up just listening to those
three.
As well as footage from walks I've done with Nick over the past year the film
features fantastic interviews with Russell Brand, Will Self and Iain Sinclair.
The film has also been nominated for the International Film Guide Inspiration
award for Best Documentary Feature.
There's some more info about the film and the panel here - hope you can make it

A Maidstone based artist Cathy Rogers and her brother John Rogers, a writer and filmmaker, are producing an interactive two-day event for Architecture Week, ¡Reframing Maidstone¢, on Saturdays 16th and 23rd June. For the event they are asking people to join in.
Reframing Maidstone is an exploration of the town centre led by an ¡archive film exchange¢, in which participants are asked to film certain areas of the town on mobile phones. Participants will be sent a clip of archive film which relates to a site in the town, to their mobile phones.
The idea is that they then find that place, film the same part of the town on their phones as it appears today and send it back to the Town Hall where the incoming clips will be displayed on large plasma screens. Throughout the event these screens will be building a video map of the town created from the exchange of the participants¢ picture/video messages and the archive film clips.
John and Cathy explain "this is an event in which images of contemporary Maidstone will be exchanged with images from the past. Members of the public will explore Maidstone gathering images on their mobile phones (or camera if necessary) which will be exchanged for archive film clips from the Council Chambers at the Town Hall. The images exchanged will be displayed as a video map inside the town hall. Some highlights from the clips include; The building of the bypass, Fremlins before it was a shopping centre, the Maidstone Sweet Factory and an unusual cycle challenge from 1931, plus more surprises.
Everybody is welcome and we are keen for as many people to participate as possible, just bring your mobile phone and a willingness to participate in a challenge to find the location of the archive clips, like a cinematic treasure hunt."
The project has been commissioned by Laura Francis and Louise Knight on behalf of Maidstone Borough Council as part of Art at the Centre. Art at the Centre¢s funding of Reframing Maidstone was made possible because of a new £5000 grant awarded by the Arts Council England, South East.
For details, or if you would like to submit archive film of Maidstone call Cathy on 07958 669255 or email:
As part of the London Olympic development for 2012, a section of ancient Lammas Land is under threat. This is land that was drained by Alfred the Great (well, not personally) in the 9th Century and has been common grazing land ever since. There is a small and spirited campaign to stop the development on Marsh Lane Fields, and I shot this short video on one of the actions that gives some background to the issues:
Dear All,
I am doing a little zine and wanted to include a piece on
psychogeography, especially of the British variety. I was wondering if
anyone reading either has written or would be willing to write me a
few hundred words briefly explaining the term and talking about some
of their own experiences. I can pay in copies--if you supply a list of
people you want to receive copies, I can send them directly. So far I
have some good poetry, a longish manifesto on "the new Imagism" in
poetry by a group in California, beautiful photography--I am
interested also in personal memoir, interviews, travel writing, food
writing, and music or film writing. I would sincerely appreciate the
contributions and would only reject for this issue if I run out of
space.
My email is donthepoet@...
thanks,
Don
We've finally got round to publishing a book of the material gathered on the Remapping High Wycombe project. It's available to download for free or you can purchase a bound copy fairly cheaply from Lulu. Let us know if you'd like a Dvd to go with it. Info in the attachment.
If you're having trouble watching the video, try copying the following URL into your browser: http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=-3404781272889245700&q=deep+topography&pr=goog-sl
I've posted a write-up of the walk we did through the City last week on http://islingtongue.blogspot.com with a link to Pete's excellent photos.
There's also a posting on http://remappinghighwycombe.blogspot.com on "psychogeography, autotopobiography and the High Wycombe terror suspects" which we're adding to as we get ideas.
And, below that there's some pictures of a stone in Wycombe which may be a very old mark stone.
Thoughts and comments on any of the above are most welcome.
Cheers
John

Hi folks,
Just to let you know I've posted some of the pictures
I took on friday on my Flickr account.
The set of pictures can be found here:

I really enjoyed the evening.
See you soon,

Just a reminder about tonight's walk. Looks like I'll get away from work a little earlier than expected so I should make the Balck Friar by 7.30pm at the latest.
Just a note about the walk - there is no plan other than to follow our noses and see where we end up. Naturally we can take in the Temple of Mithras, St Stephens-by-the Wardrobe, London Stone, Catrin Gwyndwr memorial etc if we fancy it. I realised the title implies following the route in Harold Clunn's invaluable 'Face of London' - but it's far too big to lug around.
See yer tonight - whoever can make it.

Yes, its a possibility John. Let me get back to you on that. I may be working. Love Queen Victoria Street - something proto-arterial about it. Then the city towering up
in its density. Saw a memorial stone to two guys at the foot of an office block. I think it said they died in an accident. Were they window cleaners, their cradle plummeting, the whip of the loosened cable, to hit the ground on a tawdry tuesday afternoon. Or did I imagine the whole thing. I knew somehow QVS was the Clunn you'd choose to "do" and would prefer to come along.

URBAN RESEARCH ON FILM curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr
With the increased dynamic of urban development, more artists are concerned with urban space as a theme and issue. This selection shows a range of new short experimental and documentary work by international artists.
We welcome Klaus W. Eisenlohr who will introduce this selection from his ongoing Urban Research film and video screening project curated for Directors Lounge in Berlin.
URBAN RESEARCH ON FILM is presented by COGCOLLECTIVE.
screening at
Candid Arts Trust 3 Torrens Street London EC1V 1NQ
A PROMESSA Noëelle Georg, Portugal, 2004, 4 min "Oh no, my parents arrived - we need to move - ... - we made it!" The promise of a future and a new life in the old modernist residencies, the artist depicts a possible beautification!
YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE Diane Bonder, USA, 2005, 9 min You Are Not From Here is a record of a rapidly disappearing vernacular landscape. With an oblique narration about the process of gentrification, the film explores the notions of discovery, belonging, and the meaning we project on our environment. Created for the Kodak Against The Grain Super-8 Invitational.
IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU WOULD BE HOME BY NOW Diane Bonder, USA, 2001, 15 min If You Lived Here, You'd be Home by Now is about the divisiveness over land, the relationship of
public and private space in small town America, and the concept of home. Using documentary strategies, landscape stills are juxtaposed to stories "ripped from headlines" of a small-town newspaper. The struggle over public space described in the stories, reflect universal concepts of space, privacy and property ownership.
IN 'NA CITY Papa 'n Razzi (aka Kemmy Thyssen), Germany, 2005, 8 mins In 'na City seeks harmony and connectivity between images and music. A collage of images from the City of Hannover - skyscrapers, traffic, the surface of the city and its mesh - creates a new vision. Images and colours complement musical sounds and rhythms. Everyday space and vernacular modern architecture are the matrix of the pulsing music. Music by Systetic, now named: i n d i z.
STADTSTRANDZONE MITTE IN LANGENHAGEN (excerpt) Klaus W. Eisenlohr, Germany, 2005, 5 mins In a changed urban environment, in the
city-in-between, in the urbanized zones, the possible narratives have already changed. Occurrences, happenings and interaction are key for the transformation of a transitory space to human space. In this excerpt of Stadtrandzone Mitte, a group of youngsters from Hannover show in a couple of scenes, how they interact in public space. The scenes were guided, photographed and edited by Klaus W. Eisenlohr.
SAVE Roger Warren Beebe, USA, 2005, 5 mins A disused gas station offers a curious imperative to passers-by: SAVE. A riddle posed in the form of architecture: what is there to save? Another instalment in the history of Americans pointing their cameras at gas stations; an attempt to figure out something about where we've been, where we're headed, and what's been left behind.
NIGHT WALK Fabienne Gautier, France, 2006, 7 mins An improvised walk through Paris at night. "Slices of light graffito
Paris at night: the tracery of the city's nocturnal bioluminescence." (antimatter)
THE CORRIDOR Virginie Laganière, Canada, 2005, 2 mins A corridor, a passageway between offices, becomes the internal and visible projection of the outside city. Dream, hope or hallucination? Virginie Laganière, with very dry humor, shows imaginary metamorphosis of the daily urban environment.
ON A SLOW BOAT TO CHINA Sonja Lillebaeck Christensen, Denmark, 2005, 18 mins Single men on the waterfront is not an urban phenomenon but solitary men are. The filmmaker tells us how she watches them. Her camera does not watch objectively, she peers, glances, stares, as she creates empathetic but also ironic stories for them. Sonja Lillebaek Christensen surprises us with her freshness while avoiding any rules or genres. And she tells us something about urban live in very simple ways, maybe because she does not really
feel part of it herself.
FRAMEFUNK Dirk Holzberg and Jörg Pfeiffer, Germany, 2001, 3 mins For an hour a tram is transformed into an audio/visual laboratory by a group of artists, accompanied by the electronic band Mouse on Mars who play live on as it travels through the centre of Cologne. Live cameras capture the inner and outer environment of the tram, the video images are edited in real-time and then projected back onto the passing urban landscape.The resulting image stream is in turn filmed again, mixing the inner and outer space further. The architecture of Cologne becomes an integral part of both the construction and the projection of the acoustic and visual timeframe.

Yeah, that's right. It's just a 'cute' way of presenting thoughts on the urban realm. Like you say, nothing new, just remixed in each publication. The way they write about what they see is quite poetic and I think that's where the charm is. Like your writing really, but what they've done is edited very succinctly and amplified the good bits, but there is a lot of repetition. Sometimes it seems they're saying things for the sake of it, because it's already been said before but in a different way.
Maybe they ended up with too many pictures and needed to fill gaps or maybe they don't have enought material to fill the book? Who knows.

New Series: The Philosophy of the
Overlooked. Part 1: Walking Talks: Mon 19 Jun 2006.
A new series celebrating the continued relevance of phenomenology, a philosophy aimed at making explicit structures of lived experience and modes of human existence in the world: those things that are encountered every day without thought, those actions that are repeated automatically.
Dust, breathing, hesitation, walls, accents and spit count among what Michel Serres would call quasi-objects, at once objects that exist in the world and markers of subjectivity. Tonight’s speaker: Rebecca Solnit, author of the bestselling Wanderlust: A History of Walking, (out in June) who will discuss the fascinating but often-overlooked significance of the first human mode of transport.

SPECIAL EVENT: The Psychoacoustic Geographers Film: Dates between Tue 13 Jun - Wed 14 Jun 2006.
Emotional exiles from
the Land of Opportunity, experimental filmmakers Ben Russell and Jonathan Schwartz come to the ICA on the last leg of their European tour – equipped with 16mm films, vocal distortion effects and optical soundtracks, these kindred spirits engage in a kino-cartography of the audiovisual contract.
Through a combination of psychedelic cinema, mash-up animations, mask ceremonies (with live sound!), and pinhole lenses these intrepid explorers map out a new world of Image and Sound where vision travels in waveforms and audio flickers like explosions in the night. Ben Russell is a Providence, RI-based filmmaker who runs a microcimena called Magic Lantern (www.magiclanterncinema.com), has screened as far afield as Tokyo, Belgrade, Rotterdam, and Iowa City, and recently completed a 16mm hour-long structuralist Western. Jonathan Schwartz is a filmmaker living in Boston, MA. He has made Indian ethnographies,
cinema-records of family memory, and is currently working on a 33.3 minute “concept album” of collage films. Running-time: 73 mins, followed by Q&A

SPECIAL EVENT: The Psychoacoustic Geographers Film: Dates between Tue 13 Jun - Wed 14 Jun 2006.
Emotional exiles from the Land of Opportunity, experimental filmmakers Ben Russell and Jonathan Schwartz come to the ICA on the last leg of their European tour – equipped with 16mm films, vocal distortion effects and optical soundtracks, these kindred spirits engage in a kino-cartography of the audiovisual contract.
Through a combination of
psychedelic cinema, mash-up animations, mask ceremonies (with live sound!), and pinhole lenses these intrepid explorers map out a new world of Image and Sound where vision travels in waveforms and audio flickers like explosions in the night. Ben Russell is a Providence, RI-based filmmaker who runs a microcimena called Magic Lantern (www.magiclanterncinema.com), has screened as far afield as Tokyo, Belgrade, Rotterdam, and Iowa City, and recently completed a 16mm hour-long structuralist Western. Jonathan Schwartz is a filmmaker living in Boston, MA. He has made Indian ethnographies, cinema-records of family memory, and is currently working on a 33.3 minute “concept album” of collage films. Running-time: 73 mins, followed by Q&A
"The study of our National Antiquities has called forth the talents of
the most eminent scholars; and it is generally admitted, that writings
on this subject, combining Historical remark with Topographical
illustration, are calculated to convey a knowledge of our domestic
concerns in a way the most entertaining and instructive."
J Nelson 1811
Welcome to the group.
I've been thinking of setting this up for some time when I realised
that I knew several people with similar interests who didn't really
know each other. Add to that the other lists and groups that I
subscribe to that I was constantly forwarding emails on from.
The catalyst came this weekend when I read in my local paper about the
Beating of the Bounds that was taking place on Leyton Marshes. On the
same day I met a fella called 'Roy the Book' who trades in
topographical books. So the idea of having an easy way to pass this
all on was born.
I hope it becomes a lively and useful list and some interesting stuff
comes out it.
