Saturday 19th April. 3.45pm
In The Wake of Deadad - Andrew Kötting
RIO Cinema, 107 Kingsland High Street, London E8 http:// 
www.riocinema.ndirect.co.uk/index.htm
£6.50/£5 Concs

“When he dies, it dies, man / that generation of stamp-collecting,  
car-washing, handkerchief-ironing, pipe-smoking, Onedin Line- 
watching, middle class, fondue-eating, God Save The Queen-ing man,  
man...”.

This ongoing multi-media project is a tribute to Kötting’s departed  
Father. He transports an effigy of his 'deadad' to locations of  
emotional importance to them both and what emerges is a  
psychogeographic portrait of one man, the generation he represents,  
and the emotional legacy he has bequeathed. Shockingly irreverent in  
places, but breathtaking in its emotional insight and sheer creative  
bravado, this is a unique meditation on loss from one of the UK's  
most singular filmmakers.

In The Wake of Deadad - Andrew Kötting
UK, 2006, 62 mins

We will be joined by Andrew Kötting for a post screening Q&A
