The last bookshop
The last bookshop
2013, English. Directed by Richard Dadd.
Imagine a world without books... A young boy leaves behind his holographic entertainment and explores the abandoned old shop fronts outside. Down a forgotten alley he discovers the last ever bookshop. And inside, an ancient Shopkeeper, who has been waiting over 25 years for a customer... This 20 minute short film promotes the plight of independent bookshops through a fantastical fictional narrative. A timeless and atmospheric short tackling a pressing topical issue. Filmed on location in some Kent and London's beautiful, historic (and endangered) bookshops.
