I just watch the BBC's 'The Weird Adventures of Eadweard Muybridge' part of the Imagine - Winter 2010 seriese. If you already know about photographic gnarl bag Edward Muybridge you should really enjoy this, if you don't know much about him your in for such a treat.
Flotsam & Jetsam is a documentary based around the beachcombers of Texel, one of the largest Frisian islands just north of mainland Holland. Because of Texel’s geographical position, tidal system and strong north-westerly winds, an estimated 2 tons of flotsam and jetsam is washed up on the beaches a day.
The film will follow the day-to-day lives of the beach combers (or Jutters as they are know on the island), exploring their relationships and history as extraordinary people in extraordinary situations.
This blog will explain the influences and inspiration behind the film.
