Out/Side/Film founder Ian Nesbitt has been invited to curate a screening around land and housing at Shefffield Communtiy Land Trust’s AGM on 1st February. The selected films are:

Steven Ball & Rastko Novakovi?’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;

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.

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.
