Film In The City

2017 
In Collaboration With
Old Royal Naval College



Location: Old Royal Naval College, London

 The Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, has appeared as the location and backdrop for over ninety films. My project posits that spatial identity is created through a complex mix of media representation and lived experience. My question is: what is at risk when commercialising spaces for cinematic use? Greenwich and the Royal Naval College are key British heritage sites, utilising funding from the film industry to aid in the upkeep and investment of the site. But how is cultural perception maintained and managed?

This project brings the local community together to share their hopes and fears for their borough. By designing a series of models, props, films, and workshops, this project aims to provide tools for collective dialogue around the question of what the film industry brings into the area.
