London Orbital

Synopsis: An impressionistic film about the M25. A road movie (literally) and a cinematic excursion into the difference between driving and walking, film and tape, time and memory, sound and image. Also a look at covert arms deals, Essex gangsters, drug dealing and Thatcher and Pinochet as vampire-lovers. Also highlights the interference that exists around the road - electromagnetic from the countless pylons, visual from the vehicles and barriers, and aural from the constant noise from traffic below and planes above.
