Two inseparable deaf-mute friends
hang to each other while working on the East End docks. This strikingly
stylised movie poem taps into the silent movie era to portray its two leading
characters isolation from hearing-unimpaired people. Financed by BFI, film has
been heralded as one of the founding works of British Free Cinema.

Since 2007, an estimated 550,000 foreclosures have been
initiated in Spain. Given this acute housing situation, civil society has been
forced to organise. In 2009 the PAH, the Platform for People Affected by
Mortgages, was established as a citizen’s movement for the right to housing and
in response to a housing emergency, using direct action and non-violent
civil disobedience to stop evictions, occupy empty apartment blocks and
re-house homeless evictions. The film portrays a typical
week at PAH Barcelona and its tireless activities.
