Introduced by Adrian Favell, PI of the Northern Exposure project on "Race, Nation and Disaffection in 'Ordinary' Towns and Cities in the North of England", which produced the film as part of a large scale ESRC project funded at the University of Leeds by the "Governance After Brexit" programme. He is joined by the film maker, Lucy Kaye, for the film showing and a live Q and A, with Professor Mike Savage.
Lucy Kaye creates intimate portraits of diverse individuals in three Northern English towns, in this insightful and compassionate documentary. Filmed across Middlesbrough, Wakefield, and Halifax, the film brings together stories of loss, migration, friendship, and mutual aid, to convey a strong sense of place and lived experience. Exploring our relationship to the places we live and our sense of belonging, the film challenges stereotypes and gives a vital voice to those not often heard. From Where We Stand is a thoughtfully observed film that feels truly collaborative, and an authentic portrait of Northern England post-Brexit.
