A selection of films which mirror themes in Matthew Darbyshire’s latest exhibition.
Films include:
Patrick Keiller’s The Dilapidated Dwelling (2000) which uses archive footage, interviews, statistics and humour to explore the film’s essential question: why can't the UK effectively produce cheap houses that are comfortable to live in?
Adam Chodzko: Around (2007,13 mins) In documentary form and set in the future in a now regenerated once deprived housing estate outside Dublin (Ballymun), the film follows what happens when an archive of records relating to boundaries in the estate is found in the rubble of demolition.
Redmond Entwhistle: Belfast Trio (3mins/3mins/3mins). A trio of three minute films to be seen as a whole, each film is at once a description of a film to be made, a conversation between characters in a love triangle, and a portrait of a city attempting to refashion itself for entry into a global economy.
William Raban: The Houseless Shadow ( 2011,19 mins).
The Charles Dickens essay Night Walks gives voice to the film, using the text to explore continuities.
In partnership with Glasgow Film Festival 2012.
