The Housing Film examines how a century of realities and possibilities in domestic living have been profiled and foregrounded through studies and representations of Housing in the medium of Film. The filmic investigations, analysis and expos s of homes and our way of occupying them, and their possible effect on behaviour, in documentaries like Housing Problems (1935) and Paul Sng's Dispossession: The Great Council Housing Swindle (2017), propaganda films like Cumbernauld: Town for Tomorrow (1970), dramas like Cathy Come Home (1966) and features like High Rise (2017), to understand how closely the tow - film and housing - have grown and developed together, each conditioning the understanding and the range of possibilities of the other.

This study will examine how these histories are in fact intertwined, will analyse and assess the mutual effects of Housing and Film and propose and define a specific category of 'The Housing Film.'

Industry Reviews

"The Housing Film gives a vivid new perspective on the monumental story of modern mass housing, through the dramatic lens of film - a medium tailor-made to project the rhetorical passions of the 'housing problem' - and skilfully exploits the idiosyncrasies of British debate as a springboard to explore global discourses of housing crisis."--Miles Glendinning, Professor of Architectural Conservation, University of Edinburgh
