Bristol Ideas

Watershed

NFH – Normal For Hartcliffe – was a code used by social workers and doctors to describe the conditions of children in the area. What would be unacceptable in other parts of the city was NFH. Bristol Ideas presents a screening of the short film Normal for Hartcliffe, with a conversation about Hartcliffe, its origins, history, lessons learned and where it goes next. Plans for Hartcliffe started as the Second World War was at its height. But it was beset with problems and offers a cautionary tale of city planning. The short film Normal for Hartcliffe, by local journalist and documentary filmmaker Neil Maggs, was produced for the residents of Hartcliffe. Commissioned by Hartcliffe and Withywood Community Partnership, it’s an honest reflection of the issues affecting the area and how people within the community feel about their home. It’s a moving, funny and honest snapshot of a community trying to thrive on the edge of Bristol in an area that is so often defined by other people’s expectations and decisions. Featuring a host of characters speaking candidly about their hopes for Hartcliffe as well as their frustrations, they call for empowerment, express frustrations around the lack of real change and the distinct lack of opportunity, while showing a staunch pride in their area and their resilience in the face of ongoing adversity.Following a showing of the film, Neil Maggs leads a discussion about Hartcliffe, its origins, history, lessons learned and where it goes next.
