Stranger on the Shore: Dark Satanic Malls
The first in a cycle of films exploring Britain's coastal edgelands, this film looks specifically at the dockside desolation of the Thames Estuary in Essex, crossroads of global trade.
Overview
It's different by the sea. A bit strange even. Just as the coast lies at the ends of England geographically, it's also at the edges of our society and the margins of our culture, a place of transgression, eccentricity, colour and romance. Stranger on the Shore is a cycle of video-poems exploring these liminal spaces; this film looks specifically at the dockside desolation of the Thames Estuary in Essex, crossroads of global trade.
