The city of Southend has been, since the 18th century, a place of  entertainment and leisure. Times change and new things develop but the sea, the pier and the fun are always there. 
It remains a landscape of pleasure... The Landscape of Pleasure is a 
short film and photographic series that looks at the town of Southend
as a landscape designed for pleasure and entertainment.

The Landscape of Pleasure was screened at the Popup Cinema
 in the city centre, and at the seafront Park Inn in Southend-on-Sea
during the Artside Festival of Contemporary Art, July 2011.
