Description/Abstract:

Toby Jones, Iain Sinclair and Andrew Kötting (dressed as a straw bear), made a five day walk from Epping Forest to Helpston in Northamptonshire, following in the footsteps of the poet John Clare. Clare's delirious march is the spine of the project. A great English pilgrim, a self-enacted novel in the tradition of Pilgrim's Progress. The work was screened in cinemas across the UK and numerous international film festivals, and was awarded a special mention at FID International Film Festival in Marseilles, France.

Black Apples was inspired by Iain Sinclair's book Black Apples of Gower. It was made as a commission from Common Ground in collaboration with Iain Sinclair and Anonymous Bosch with music by Buster Grey-Jung.

The film is the final part of Kötting's Animal Head Trilogy.
