Surfacing on the Thames poster

Released in 1970, Surfacing on the Thames is a notable film directed by David Rimmer, running about 6 minutes.

What it’s about. ‘A beautiful, mysterious yet satisfying optical illusion...celebrates the early passing of a steam on the Thames. Using freeze-frame techniques, elaborate dissolves, and most of the resources on the optical table, this picture is, amongst other things, a Turner come to life. Rimmer’s concern with the surface nature of the film is most evident in this work which, in spite of its filmic complexity, is incredibly simple.’ — Donald Richie. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with Pacific Cinematheque in 2013.
