'You Cant Move History' Southbank Documentary film by Winstan Whitter HD SUBSCRIBE HERE: http://bit.ly/1bMwCCa ‘You Can’t Move History’ was produced for this project through critical and creative collaborations between filmmaker and ex-pro skater Winstan Whitter (Rollin’ Through the Decades), BrazenBunch, LLSB and the academic team. Through the film – and the filmmaking process – we sought to understand and communicate the Undercroft community’s individual and collective attachments to the space, and the strategies LLSB used to translate and communicate these heritage claims. In working with three generations of Southbank skaters – including long-time Undercroft local Winstan – we hope the film remains true to the aesthetics and ethics of the Undercroft community. Winstan Whitter – filmmaker, London skate historian and the brains behind the incredible Rolling Through the Decades – has teamed up with LLSB and AHRC-funded project ‘You Can’t Move History, You Can Secure The Future’ to put together a film about Southbank, its resonance with generations of skateboarders and the recent battle to save the space from development. Featuring interviews with not only some of the skaters who have frequented over the years (such as Jason Caines, Jenna Selby, Domas Glatkauskas, Joey Pressey, Henry Edwards-Wood and Louis Woodhead), but also the lawyers, community activists and other assorted behind the scenes types who helped keep the space safe for skateboarders, this is well worth putting the kettle on and kicking back for. And, with the new obstacles put in last week only adding to the Undercroft’s grimy allure, get down this winter and remind yourself of why it has such a legendary status! Find out more here: https://vimeo.com/engagingyouthinheritage ‘You Can’t Move History. You Can Secure The Future’ is an AHRC funded project which looks at young people’s attachment to subcultural spaces (in this instance the undercroft on London’s South bank) and the way in which these attachment are communicated to mainstream organisations such as heritage organisations, urban planners, politicians and the media. Academics from Sussex, UEA, Glasgow and Newcastle worked together with the community film makers the Brazen Bunch and the Heritage Lottery Fund to ask how young people conceptualise their cultural heritage, the methods by which they have sought to communicate their feelings, and the way in which these messages have been understood and acted on by formal institutions. This website brings together debate between the heritage and planning sector, youth and screen education organisations, campaign and community groups about how young people might be more effectively engaged and listened to regarding heritage and cultural issues.
