Edith Walks is a 60-minute, 66-second feature film inspired on a walk from Waltham Abbey, Essex, to St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, via Battle Abbey. A pilgrimage in memory of Edith Swan Neck is documented in the film. As the crow flies, the 108-mile journey allows the audience to reflect on all things Edith. A conversation between Alan Moore, Iain Sinclair, and Edith Swan Neck in Northampton is also an important part of the unfolding'story.' The film unfolds chronologically but in a completely unpredictable manner, with images shot on digital super 8 iPhones and sound recorded on a specially constructed music box with a boom microphone. The numerous encounters and impromptu performances along the way serve as proof, if any were needed, that the angels of chance were looking down on the troop, with EDITH as their hallucination.
