Year on the Cut is a new documentary video project by Wendy Zakiewicz and Slack Tide Films, a study of the Kennet and Avon Canal between Bath and Devizes.
Combining interactive, community-sourced elements with a more traditional documentary core in Zakiewicz’s empathic and conversational style, A Year On The Cut will chart the changing seasons and the stories of the boat-dwelling population over the course of 12 months in the Avon valley.
Wendy, a boater on the Kennet and Avon, told us “The project has two aspects to it. One aspect involves getting people along the canal to participate by taking film footage over the course of the year, on any device available (phone, etc), and submitting it to our website. All contributors will have access and be able to use the archive created and I will also be using certain clips as footage for the second part of the project which is a documentary that I am making.”
More information can be found at www.friendlychaos.org. Sign up on the website and further news will be available shortly about how you can submit films directly.
