I’m glad that there’s now so much recording of the ‘real York’, from different perspectives. ‘Homeless Heritage of York – A different kind of mapping’, offers another perspective on this multi-layered city as residents know it. Nothing to do with the ceaselessly promoted tourist-friendly face.

York on film, 2012

I loved this film. I guess partly I liked it because it featured two women, and reminded me of times a friend and I had in York in the 1990s, though it wasn’t quite as stylish back then, and I remember mainly gigs in pubs with sticky carpets.
