This film, made in collaboration with residents of Port Sunlight, Port Sunlight Village Trust (PSVT) and National Museums Liverpool (NML), addressed civic life and the notion of ‘home’ through a series of re-enactments and documentary scenarios, exploring how fiction films might reveal fundamental understandings about spatial cultural differences and contribute to the design of life-enhancing environments. The film was part of the research dissemination for CineMuseSpace, a project exploring how fiction films might reveal fundamental understandings about spatial cultural differences and contribute to the design of life-enhancing environments.

With thanks to the residents and friends of Port Sunlight.
