As the block was partially emptied ahead of demolition the remaining residents filled the bricked-up windows of the empty flats with the larger-than-life photographic faces of those who lived there. Now the silent celebrities of i am here are finally going to be heard and seen more fully.Estate chronicles the curious moment of creation and destruction as this dilapidated estate confronts its future. The final block will fall this autumn as a new construction rises alongside it. The film mixes documentary footage archive material and fictional imagined scenes to reflect on urgent matters of regeneration gentrification and architecture; its reasons possibilities and consequences.www.estatefilm.co.uk < http://www.estatefilm.co.uk>

Looking forward to seeing the film, I grew up in this area and lots of my friends lived in these flats.
