Everybody to Kenmure Street, Carnegie Medal longlisters, Medea
Felipe Bustos Sierra on his new documentary, the Glasgow-set Everybody to Kenmure Street, which tells the story of an act of resistance by a community in Pollokshields.
The 22nd edition of the Glasgow Film Festival opens tomorrow, 25 February, with a gala UK premiere of Everybody to Kenmure Street. Directed by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Felipe Bustos Sierra, the documentary follows one of Scotland’s most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory: when a UK Home Office dawn raid in the Glasgow district of Pollokshields, one of Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhoods, prompted local residents to rush to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours, in May 2021. Felipe Bustos Sierra tells us more.
