"The Seven Sisters Indoor Market is more of an ethnographic exploration than an edge of your seat documentary. It is beautifully executed and succeeds in elevating ordinary scenes from the market to moments of real aesthetic beauty. I highly recommend making the time to catch one of their screenings." - Tottenham Community Press

In a city like London, none of us are unaffected by gentrification and its effects.

As we simultaneously cope with Brexit and a Trump presidency, we turn to storytelling to understand how factors like structural inequality led to these events. Stories like that of The Seven Sisters Indoor Market shine a light not only on the phenomenon of systematic disenfranchisement, but through a cinematic lens, the effects it has on everyday humanity.

Through the lens of two young filmmakers, we get to witness in real time how the mechanics of modern redevelopment challenge the very fabric of a diverse communities constructed over generations. Rather than a polemic argument, Seven Sisters Indoor Market is quietly observant and humourous. The film has previously screened at the London East End Film Festival, LSE Resist Festival, The Koppel Project gallery, and Hackney Picturehouse.

The film will be followed by a Q&A and discussion with the filmmakers as well as Dr. Jessica Ferm and Oscar Brito, researchers and tutors from Bartlett School of Architecture and Central Saint Martins.

We look forward to seeing you there!
