A film forged by community and a spirited celebration of extraordinary everyday humanity. Timely, lyrical, made over seven years from within the Hackney housing estate featured. A Utopian fever dream lived, and a community made, by those abandoned by the structures around them. A profound exploration of difference, marginalization and resilience.—Fugitive Images

Filmed over seven years by the filmmaker who also lived there, Estate celebrates the resilience of people on the margins who are both stereotyped and profoundly overlooked by media representations and wider social responses. Interweaving intimate portraits with improvised historical re-enactments and dramatised reveries Estate asks how we resist being framed exclusively through class, gender, ability or disability, through geography even?
