HOME | A Stop Motion Story of Community, Immigration & Diversity

Over 300 years, 19 Princelet Street, Spitalfields, East London, was home to different immigrant communities: Huguenot silk merchants, Irish weavers, East European Jewish tailors. ‘Home’ is an animated documentary which uses fabric to explore the shared experiences of community, immigration, and diversity, based on the true story of one building.

"I was interested in how people of different times and generations, coming from different cultures and backgrounds, are connected through the places they occupy and the experiences they share. I wanted the film to be quite poetic, telling the story from the perspective of the house using fabric: the common trade shared by the area’s many immigrant communities. Characters in the film are 2D cutouts on acetate and appear as mere shadows that come and go whilst the house stays."
