The Briefing: A Cinematic Look into Gentrification in South London

British-Nigerian director Shola Amoo takes on the swift gentrification experience many working class communities are undergoing in South London. The film is narrated through the eyes of a young woman and Brixton native named Nina who returns to her local community only to be labeled as gentrifier.

Here's the official synopsis...

“A Moving Image is a multidisciplinary feature film about gentrification in Brixton, incorporating fiction, documentary and performance art. We follow Nina, a young stifled artist as she returns to her community after a long absence – she is soon painted as a symbol of gentrification and struggles with her complicity. She forms a three-way relationship with an actor called Mickey and a Nigerian performance artist called Ayo, who both have very different views on the changes taking place in their environment. During an unnaturally hot summer in London, Nina sets out to create the ultimate piece of art to explore her complex relationship with her community. In doing so, she poses a tricky question – is she truly part of the problem or can she use her work to be part of the solution? On her journey, she interviews people affected by Gentrification in Brixton, blurring the line between reality and fiction.”
