The Film Interview: Andrew Kötting

The British director on his new picture, Ivul - and on living in the treetops.

By Daniel Trilling

Andrew Kötting is a British artist and director. His first feature film, “Gallivant” (1996), followed the director on a journey around Britain’s coastline with his grandmother and young daughter. That was followed in 2001 by “This Filthy Earth”, an adaptation of Émile Zola’s novel “La Terre”. Kötting’s other projects include “In the Wake of a Deadad” (shortlisted for the 2008 Derek Jarman Award), in which he transported effigies of his dead father to places they had visited together.
