The London Perambulator (full length documentary)

Featuring: Russell Brand, Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Nick Papadimitriou
Directed by John Rogers

John Rogers' film looks at the city we deny and the future city that awaits us. Leading London writers and cultural commentators Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Russell Brand explore the importance of the liminal spaces at the city's fringe, its Edgelands, through the work of enigmatic and downright eccentric writer and researcher Nick Papadimitriou - a man whose life is dedicated to exploring and archiving areas beyond the permitted territories of the high street, the retail park, the suburban walkways.
The ideas of psychogeography and Nick's own deep topography are also explored.

The London Perambulator premiered at The Whitechapel Gallery in the East End Film Festival, April 2009.
It has also screened at The London International Documentary Festival, Curzon Soho's Doc Days, Cine City Brighton Film Festival, East End Film Festival's Movie Mayday - and others.

How could you make an app out of this wandering around lark? Any ideas?

[fugueur]

That'd be antithetical to his ethos I think.

[benofclifton]

this is an absolutely fantastic documentary

[SamBurcher]

Well its a shame that TheLndnBoy and Anonatarded are totally full of their own over self perpetuated attitude, not allowing for freedom of expression to environment we live in. I wonder just how creative these two trolls are, where are there contributions are to the great understanding. Somehow i believe they are just simply incapable of expressing their true self, so instead they try to trash other peoples efforts. Good work Nick and don’t worry about the trolls!!

IGNORAMUS RESPONDANTS PLEASE

Loveable English eccentrics; but what's all this about Dennis Neilson ? I'm sure I read Will Self say that when he used to sign on Neilson was his job centre advisor ?!?! Is it in ''Junk Mail'' ?

[azorultkutya]

The guy needs to get a job.

[Chris Devins]

I'm not sure why they are fetishizing this guy. He's somewhat interesting, but his ideas are defuse and lack penetration...a city Troll of sorts.

[gno nimo]

This is like the UK's equivalent of Speed Levitch.

[Jonathan Ridley]

brilliant stuff
