It was inspired by a walk from Waltham Abbey in Essex, via Battle Abbey, to St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex that Edith Walks is a 60 minute and 66 second feature film. A pilgrimage in memory of Edith Swan Neck is documented in this film. The 108-mile drive, as the crow flies, provides an opportunity for the audience to contemplate on everything Edith. Another important component of the unfolding'story' is a dialogue between Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair, and Edith Swan Neck, which takes place in Northampton. With images shot on digital super 8 iPhones and sound recorded on a specially designed music box with a boom microphone, the video unfolds chronologically but in a completely unpredictable manner, as seen in the trailer. There is no doubt that the angels of chance were watching over the troop, with EDITH serving as their phantasm, as evidenced by the frequent encounters and impromptu performances along the way.
