A Walk Back to the Last London by Way of Watling Street(2017)

A Walk Back to the Last London by Way of Watling Street is a experimental documentary filmed on an iPhone using Super 8 software. Director Andrew Kötting documents a pilgrimage along Watling Street from Dover to London, joined at various points by writer Iain Sinclair, filmmaker John Rogers, and Anne Caron-Delion. The journey unfolds as a meditation on landscape, history, and the British psychogeographic tradition, capturing the road itself as both subject and character. Shot with deliberately lo-fi aesthetics, the film transforms a simple walk into a layered exploration of place and memory, tracing ancient pathways through contemporary England. Kötting's intimate approach reveals the textures and rhythms of the route, blending personal narrative with broader cultural commentary on Britain's relationship to its own geography and heritage.
