Not In My Neighbourhood – Documentary @ Franco, Maputo
Gentrification has been constantly, falsely, perpetuated as a process of affirmative social renovation. However, despite these forced agendas, the controversy of displacement, conflict and loss of affordable housing has led to one communal response: resistance.
Award-winning filmmaker Kurt Orderson offers an insightful look into the lives of those who are struggling against the atrocities of Gentrification, Urban Renewal, Architectural Apartheid and Spatial Violence. He cohesively facilitates an international dialogue by exploring the parallels of the current urban environments in three seemingly disparate cities: São Paulo, Cape Town and New York.
Not In My Neighbourhood portrays an “on the ground” approach which evokes poignantly beautiful personal sentiments that are effortlessly juxtaposed with the courageous ability of the ordinary citizen mobilising for their right to the city.
Kurt Orderson is an award winning independent filmmaker from Cape Town, South Africa. He has directed and produced over a dozen films that have screened to domestic and international audiences and has worked in over ten countries.
Kurt has produced works in collaboration with the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, SABC, UNICEF, South African Human Rights Commission and Urban Think Tank; Switzerland. He is the founder and director of Azania Rizing Productions, which aims to inspire young people through creative storytelling about Africa and the African Diaspora.
