Building A Movement

Five case studies from the front line of the fight for safe housing and against aggressive development and gentrification across London, presented through talks, films and photography. Each case study emphasising a different successful approach to community action on housing. Followed by performance from the young activists and poets of Voices That Shake and the amazing Potent Whisper. 

Organised in collaboration with The Rainbow Collective, EEFF will be a platform for housing campaigns from across the city for a sharing of stories, ideas and tactics in the fight for social housing in London, all raising money for relief projects supporting Grenfell Tower survivors.

Case studies

Each case study will emphasis a different approach to activism through screenings and talks. Case studies will be presented by residents and campaigners from Haringey Housing Action Group, Southwark Notes on the Elephant And Castle campaign, Cressingham Gardens, Ledbury Estate and the Grenfell Tower Silent March.

Screenings will include work from many London based filmmakers on housing in the city as well as the amazing ‘Street 66’ by Ayo Akingbade chronicling the life of Ghanaian housing activist Dora Boatemah and her influence on the regeneration of Angell Town Estate in Brixton, South London.
