Occupied City,Film,Memorialisation

The directors discuss their film, Occupied City, and its purpose as a memorialisation or an act of memorialisation. They express their views on the film's active and mobile nature, challenging traditional notions of memorials.

AB: You said this isn’t a moralising film. Do you see it as an act of memorialisation? SM: No, I don’t think so. There’s no dust on this picture. I’m not interested in that. It’s active, it’s muscular. It’s not a statue. It’s much more mobile than. Forgive me for saying this, but I think it fucks with your head a little bit.

BS: I think for me it is a memorial of a certain kind, in that I feel an urge that these things be remembered, and soon they cannot be remembered by the people who lived through it. But they can be remembered by us. I think it’s both things. SM: I suppose for me it has much more motion. The way I see a memorial is a kind of pause. Ours is living. Occupied City is out in UK cinemas now

Premier League Title Race: Liverpool and Manchester City Battle for the Top SpotNow at the halfway point of the Premier League season, it’s the perfect time to take stock of the title race. Liverpool have returned from their Club World Cup winning heroics to rack up victories against Everton and Sheffield United, completing the first 19 games of their title defence. Manchester City are showing no signs of slowing down despite their heavy schedule, returning from their Club World Cup triumph over Fluminense to put the pressure back on Liverpool.
