The screening will be four films about 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
- Ian 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
- 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.
Sheffield Community Land Trust (SCLT) hope this will be the first in a longer series of events around land and housing.
The film event is open to all, and will be followed by food, and at about 8:30pm the 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. This event is ground level, there is level access into the building and accessible WC facilities available.
