“The Last Resort” is an award-winning documentary about Southsea seafront made by Russell Oastler, David Kinnaird and Lucas Way as the final project of their degrees. Gentlemen I salute you and thank you for a marvellous piece of cinematography.
The film about the decline of Portsmouth as a traditional seaside resort struck a chord with me, having been a resident in the Portsmouth & Southsea area for over 40 years. For many years now I have thought that Southsea has looked tired and in need of something to revitalise the sea front area. This is a point of view that is reinforced by the film and explored through the eyes of some of the locals who have also seen it change.
The film, dedicated to 86-year-old Mrs Dorothy Browning who died during the making, can be viewed HERE
