To gallivant, is, according to its dictionary definition 'to wander about, seeking pleasure or diversion', and this is just what artist turned filmmaker Andrew Kötting set out to do on this zig-zagging 6,000 mile trip around Britain's coastline.
Part home movie, part road movie, Kötting's riveting and eccentric film stars his 85-year-old grandmother Gladys - opinionated, bursting with anecdotes and contradictory reminiscences – and his eight-year-old daughter Eden. As the journey begins, the two are practically strangers, but by the end, 'Little Eden' and 'Big Granny' have struck up a warm bond, a relationship lent added poignancy by the fact that Eden has Joubert Syndrome, a condition that affects her speech and movement so she communicates through sign language.
Newly remastered in 2K by the BFI, Gallivant is presented on Blu-ray alongside a selection of short films chosen by Andrew Kötting.
