The Rime of The Modern Mariner with live score by Anthony
Rossamando, Didz Hammond, Rose Elinor Dougall and Special Guests

What is the depth of relationship between a nation and a state? Can a way of life,
however ancient, survive the force of globalised trade? ‘The Rime of the Modern
Mariner’ is a journey through lost communities, rediscovered pirates, colonial fortresses
and the spindrift of folklore and legend.

Following a successful debut at the East EndFilm Festival in April, Latitude is very excited to announce that
‘The Rime of the Modern Mariner’ is to get a special repeat performance at Latitude.

Written and directed by Mark Donne and narrated by Carl Barat (The Libertines), the two will introduce this
documentary to Latitude’s Film & Music Arena, complete with live score composed and
performed by Anthony Rossamando (Dirty Pretty Things/ Klaxons). This showing will
have a very special guest sound and orchestral band featuring Didz Hammond of Dirty
Pretty Things, Rose Elinor Dougall ex-Pipettes, as well as others to be announced, stay
on the lookout for further updates.

The adventurous score is completed with a trio of
string players to weave the score's melodic tentacles around the rhythm of the film. It
utilises the sound of ship engines and a real dynamic aural expression of the nautical
themes, threaded with nostalgia, for a truly unique musical experience. With the
accompaniment from the assembled indie-rock collective - all performing for one night
only - there will never be a more exciting time to see this intriguing and fascinating
history of the original shipping heart of London than in the comfort of the Film & Music
