THE STORYAmerica’s oldest fishing town—Gloucester, MA—is a deep place, sown with stories, family connections, and seafaring traditions. WALKING CINEMA: POSTS FROM GLOUCESTER is a smartphone app that uses GPS, documentary video, social media and on-site installations to reveal Gloucester’s history and character along it’s new 1.2 mile Harborwalk. THE BUZZThe tour “brings to light previously hard-to-find historical and cultural lore with a network of 42 markers that is accompanied by a virtual tour that can be downloaded onto a smartphone.” – Boston Globe. AUDIENCE:The tour is designed for families, locals, and all types of travelers to Gloucester. We have found that kids as young as 8 years old enjoy doing WALKING CINEMA with their parents and friends as it feels more like a treasure hunt than history. You can also enjoy the app as a virtual immersion in Gloucester from your armchair. WALKING CINEMA?Walking Cinema is a format developed by the multi-platform production company, Untravel Media, and is designed to give audiences a first-person, hands-on experience of history and local culture. See: www.untravelmedia.com/work. Cambridge7 Associates crafted the path and signage for the Harborwalk to support this form of digital and cinematic interpretation. THE POSTSThe postcards become a mechanism for a local artist to uncover the peculiar character, traditions, and challenges her town has faced. The story is told through short, highly-produced videos audiences can watch on smartphones or online at ghwalk.org. In addition, along the Harborwalk are various hands-on installations—a Gloucester rowboat, a photo gallery guessing game, a mysterious fisherman’s shack—that combine with the hand-held video to immerse audiences deeper in the Gloucester experience. There are currently three episodes in POSTS FROM GLOUCESTER telling the story of the town’s biggest party, immigrant traditions, legendary heroes, and ongoing fishing traditions.
