About this Event
As part of our AGM, Sheffield film-maker Ian Nesbitt will be screening four films around land and housing:
- Steven Ball & Rastko Novaković’s ‘Concrete Heartland’ which draws on archive materials to chart the struggles of the local community to keep their homes during the controversial regeneration of the Heygate Estate in Elephant and Castle, South London;
- Nesbitt’s own ‘Settlers in England’ which examines ideas of food production, environment and community through the eyes of the residents of Oxcroft Land Settlement, Derbyshire, where unemployed workers and their families were re-settled in the 1930s;
- Plus Mars Saude’s two short films “Every Primitive Space Commune” and “Handmade Home” that explore a future primitive vision of commune living in space using science fiction and radical polemics, and a brief document of the house built by the artists Robert Nelson and William T. Wiley in the forests of Mendocino County, California.
We hope this will be the first in a longer series of events around land and housing, and the film event - which is open to all - will be followed by food, and later, our official AGM for members.
Doors will open at 6:00pm, with the first screening starting at 6:15pm.
A limited number of free tickets are available, but please donate if you can.
