Just attended the world premier of ESTATE, A REVERIE by Andrea Luka Zimmerman 83m. The film tracks the passing of the Haggerston Estate (1938-2014) in Hackney, London and the utopian promise of social housing it offered. A fantastic, moving , poetic portrait of the dying estate. Filmed over seven years, ESTATE, A REVERIE seeks to reveal and celebrate the resilience of residents who are profoundly overlooked by media representations and wider social responses. Interweaving intimate portraits with the residents own historical re-enactments and dramatised scenes, the film asks how we might resist being framed exclusively through class, gender, ability or disability, and through geography even… As John Berger wrote ... I believe this project will achieve something very significant for the times we are living in. It will remind us – and how appropriate this is for the medium of film – that, both politically and humanly, the past is not behind us, not obsolescent, but beside us and urgent. Try and catch the film next in Rio Cinema in London on Jan.10th
