‘Hands Off Our Homes’ is a short documentary film by four students from the Northern Film School in Leeds. The film details one man’s struggles to keep the house that he has made a home for his family, in an area that he believes is worth fighting for. Geoff Ryecroft’s story points towards the growing gap between the needs of a community and the aims of the council. The consequences of regeneration are complex, widespread, and often disputed. Geoff’s story represents the personal devastation occurring the scenes of a regeneration process which is so often presented to us as wholly positive. Producers : Kathryn Wilson and Ian Pinder Director : Anthony Corby Camera Operator : Mojtaba Yousefipour |
