"This programme of beautiful 16mm shorts provides some little seen works by psychogeographic heavyweights such as Patrick Keiller and John Smith. Enter a world filled with dancing buildings, eerie church bells, and walking games galore. Ghosts of Landscapes Present looks into past and present uses of formal fun to characterise and often change our perceptions of familiar landscapes." – Joel Whitaker
