Edith Walks - 2017 (dir. Andrew Kötting) starring Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair etc.

Director: Andrew Kötting Cast: Edith Swan-Neck, Andrew Kötting, Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair, David Aylward, Claurdia Barton, Anonymous Bosch, Jem Finer IMDb: Edith Walks is a 60 minute 66 second feature film inspired by a walk from Waltham Abbey in Essex via Battle Abbey to St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex. The film documents a pilgrimage in memory of Edith Swan Neck. Bits of King Harold’s body were brought to Waltham for burial near the High Altar after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and his hand fast wife Edith Swan Neck is seen cradling him in a remarkable sculpture at Grosvenor Gardens on the sea front in St Leonards. The film re-connects the lovers after 950 years of separation. The 108 mile journey, as the crow flies, allows the audience to reflect upon all things Edith. A conversation in Northampton between Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair and Edith Swan Neck is also a key element to the unfolding ’story’.
