“Aping the narrative from Charles Dickens’ semi-autobiographical novel, David Copperfield, Chetwynd leads a group of ’urchins’ from London to Dover. They retrace Copperfield’s miserible journey from St. George’s Circus where he was mugged to Dover. He ate roots from the ground and slept where he could, Chetwynd’s group are also seen to ’live off the land’. Working in collage, painting and performance, Chetwynd combines elements from literature, music and cinema, to make very messy irreverent art. Past reviews have been undecided ’At Best this is ’Punk’ or is it simply abysmal’? -- Jarman Film nomination
