Following the route of The Floating Cinema 2015 tour between Bristol and London this commissioned film takes a journey through archive and amateur film meticulously sourced from along this much loved canal route.
Celebrating both people and places along the way we see many of Somewhere's filmic obsessions through different ages. Collected scenes paint this largely rural route as a unique slice across the UK - from peace camps, to crop circles and festivals. From the engineers who originally built the canal to the enthusiasts who later restored it, the film celebrates creativity in all forms, including film.
Repeat to Flourish has been developed as a companion to Barging Through London (Again) made by Somewhere in 2011 to launch the very first programme for The Floating Cinema. Both films use dual projection to skip between films shot in different eras and had new scores commissioned for them by Tim and Matthew Olden.
Repeat to Flourish is a Somewhere film by Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie with Alice Powell, commissioned by UP Projects for The Floating Cinema: On Tour.
