Swandown is a travelogue and odyssey of Olympian ambition; a poetic film-diary about encounter, myth and culture. It is also an endurance test and pedal-marathon in which Andrew Kötting (the filmmaker) and Iain Sinclair (the writer) pedal a swan-shaped pedalo from the seaside in Hastings to Hackney in London, via the English inland waterways. With a nod to Herzog's Fitzcarraldo and a pinch of Dada, Swandown documents their epic journey, on which they are joined by invited guests including comedian Stewart Lee, writer Alan Moore and actor Dudley Sutton.
Leave your thoughts about Swandown.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsIt converts Kötting at a stroke from an acquired taste to a required one. |
| The ListGail TolleyIt all comes together in a charming and idiosyncratic way to create a rich and often funny snapshot of local identity. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchA constantly beguiling movie with an underlying touch of bitterness, especially towards the end. |

| GuardianPeter BradshawIt is a bit of a vanity project: but the sight of these two guys and their great big swan is surreal and funny. |
| Little White LiesVadim RizovMisses a few socio-political tricks, but Kötting and Sinclair make for fine shipmates. |
| Empire MagazineDavid ParkinsonNot for everyone, but still well worth exploring. |
