This short film captures places, spaces and voices that make up Carlton, Nottinghamshire. Contributors range from Jigsaw Homes residents to local business owners. Carefully collaged together by filmmaker Owen Davies, it is a celebration of the people and places that make Carlton special.
The film premieres online at 3pm on 4 April 2024.
The film was commissioned by City Arts as part of their My Voice! My Place! project. The project set out to record, and maybe change, people’s perceptions of the area they live in. The decision to create a film was made by a panel of local people, including Jigsaw Homes residents.
The project was funded and supported by the Jigsaw Foundation and Gedling Borough Council through the Levelling Up fund.
