Whalebone Box

The Whalebone Box (12A)
Directed by Andrew Kotting

JUST when you thought life could not get more surreal comes a truly bizarre film about a box made out of whalebone from British artist and film-maker Andrew Kotting.

In it, he embarks on a road trip with writer and film-maker Iain Sinclair and pinhole photographer Anonymous Bosch to take the box from London, via the Pyrenees, to the Island of Harris in the Outer Hebrides where it originated from.
