Follow by the Co-operative Fortnight Double Bill:
Another Utopia (49 mins) 2015
Another Utopia charts the journey of a visionary group of individuals, who sought to develop new ways of building communities through co-operative housing.
The film revisits the organic and sometimes turbulent emergence of this alternative commune and its subsequent development into a funded co-operative housing entity.
Tracing roots from the peace movement, Notting Hill housing activism groups, feminism and gay liberation, the narrative captures a fertile period in recent history.
In the context of a deepening housing crisis and community fragmentation, Another Utopia examines an alternative model of housing and living, a reminder that even in today’s individualistic society we have the power to effect change when working together.
Members of Abeona Housing Co-operative and volunteers from the local community worked with artist Albert Potrony on a year-long project researching the squatting and housing co-operative movement of the 70’s and 80’s in Camden, London.
Punk Football (35 mins) 2013
Punk Football tells the powerful and passionate story of a group of Manchester United supporters who, disillusioned by the club’s corporate takeover, decided to take matters into their own hands. In a bold act of resistance, they founded their own football club: FC United of Manchester.
This grassroots documentary charts their journey from frustration to fierce determination, highlighting how ordinary fans built something extraordinary - guided by democratic principles, community spirit, and a love for the beautiful game untainted by commercial greed. Punk Football is an inspiring look at fan power, collective action, and the enduring soul of football.
We'll also have:
Delicious (mostly) organic vegan curries from Fergus Bradbeer aka Vegie Vortex (who also used to do the curries at Beach and Barnicott), plus hot and cold drinks.
