Coming to this rather belatedly, but thanks for making this available, I enjoyed it tremendously. I’ve heard NP’s name bandied about a bit but only had a vague notion of him – having seen this I’ll definitely be buying his book.
John Rogers’ film looks at the city we deny and the future city that awaits us. Leading London writers and cultural commentators Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Russell Brand explore the importance of the liminal spaces at the city’s fringe, it’s Edgelands, through the work of enigmatic and downright eccentric writer and researcher Nick Papadimitriou - a man whose life is dedicated to exploring and archiving areas beyond the permitted territories of the high street, the retail park, the suburban walkways.
Sounds interesting; I prefer reading to watching, however. I don’t suppose there’s any possibility of a transcript?
Thank you very much for putting this online. It is very inspiring. I cannot wait for Nick’s book to appear. The notes look very interesting.
Thanks for the comments. Glad to make the film widely available after the pleasure of festival screenings. Nick’s book, Scarp is published in June http://www.amazon.co.uk/Scarp-Nick-Papadimitriou/dp/1444723383/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326932286&sr=8-1
