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.
