The Housing Film
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 exposés of homes and our way of occupying them, and their possible effect on behaviour, are explored in documentaries like Housing Problems (1935) and Paul Sng's Dispossession: The Great Council Housing Swindle (2017). Propaganda films such as Cumbernauld: Town for Tomorrow (1970), dramas like Cathy Come Home (1966), and features like High Rise (2017) further illustrate the relationships between film and housing.
This study will examine how these histories are in fact intertwined, analyse and assess the mutual effects of housing and film, and propose and define a specific category of 'The Housing Film.'
