Dockyards, Demo’s & New Directions is an archive film and audio tour along England’s waterways, starting in Bristol, stopping in Gloucester, Nottingham, Sheffield and ending in Leeds. The project works with local people to explore pivotal moments of social and political change in their cities as seen in their city’s film archives, and in their own lived experiences.
Throughout November, December 2021 and into January 2022, Dockyards, Demo’s and New Directions screened before selected feature films at local independent cinemas in the chosen cities. Accompanying these screenings was an audio tour, including stories from local people speaking about their own personal memories of the city and its history. Listen to them here.
