A seward view of the West Pier, Brighton.
Ahoy there!

Brighton:From the Sea

You might have seen Brighton from the beach, or the pier, but what about from the sea? In our continuing focus on Brighton during the festival, we've got a film that could make you feel slightly seasick....

Now, you may have strolled along the prom at Brighton many times, or eaten chips on the pier, or even swum out a bit on a nice warm day. Or maybe you have just seen it on a postcard.

But here's a chance to see Brighton from a completely different perspective - all the way out on the sea.

Title: Brighton from the Sea
 See Brighton from the sea
Film maker:Dan Bridge
Length:2.15
Date:May 2007

It's a chance to get a really good view of the grand - and sometimes not so grand - architecture that lines Kings Road and all the way down to Hove, actually.

This is a changing cityscape - Frank Gehry's two towers, planned for the site of the King Alfred centre, will soon give the city a different seaward silhouette. So too will the Brighton 1360, a 183m (600ft) observation tower in the area of the derelict West Pier.

So our boat tour with film maker Dan Bridge is a glimpse of a city fast changing; grab it while you can.

All aboard the Skylark!
