Cirerers, Pictures of a Construction (2023)

Directed by Santiago González Plá, Ana Valeria de Ormaechea

“A documentary about cooperative housing.”

Documentary · 1h 33m

In 2016, the Barcelona City Council allocated plots of land to cooperative housing projects. One of these plots of land was assigned to Sostre Cívic, to be used for 27 units of social housing in the Roquetes neighbourhood of Barcelona. The driving group, Cirerers, was set up in September, 2017. The documentary gaze accompanies the members of the cooperative in their debate about access to decent housing in Barcelona’s neighbourhoods, which are becoming more and more gentrified, the value of communal space and the need to return to taking care of the community as a way to combat the financialization of life. In March, 2022, Cirerers was inhabited by 32, co-living units.
