До житлового питання / The Housing Question || in Kyiv

"COVID-19 pandemic re-actualized the issue of housing for the majority of the world's population. In 2020, rental strikes took place in the United States and Italy. At the same time the phrase 'cancel rent' consolidated the efforts of thousands of activists who demanded landlords to cancel their quarantine rent. The films of this program tell about the struggle for the right to housing in several countries. And that gentrification is not about the development of business, infrastructure, and social life. It is rather about the displacement and eviction of people from their homes. The consequences developers and authorities tend to ignore."
