Abstract
The poetry of Plymouth Sound and city seaside culture captured in glorious Kodachrome Super 8 film.
Tinside observes the rites of passage of Plymouth working class youth and their engagement with the sea along the city's waterfront during the summer months. The film intertwines place and memory and embodies the director’s relationship to the Plymouth Hoe foreshore, inflected by his memories of childhood. Filmed on some of the last rolls of Kodachrome 40 Super 8mm film before it was discontinued in 2006 (Kodak 2024), the film is imbued with an aesthetic of the past, what has been lost – in relation to the waterfront landscape itself, the freedoms of childhood play, and the aesthetic of the film stock.
Director: Stuart Moore
Producer: Kayla Parker
Distributed in the One Minute Volume 12 programme of international artists' moving image curated by Kerry Baldry
