A rather moving short film about the loss of Manor Garden Allotments to the development of the London 2012 Olympic village. Was it worth the destruction of allotments (and the community of allotment holders tending them) dating back to the 1920’s for the creation of a footpath for the Olympic Village? Hard to see that it was.

The best thing I’ve seen this week:
Can House Trailer from maxy neil bianco on Vimeo.
Michael Smith explains what this is all about much better than I could hope to.

I don’t know much about this (has it actually been released properly yet, even?) and I’m not a massive fan of British Sea Power, but I found this incredibly hypnotic, and surprisingly moving.
UPDATE: It does seem to have been released, or at least you can watch it here, on the (seriously under-promoted) The Space. And Caught by the River have posted a review this morning. A weekend treat, then.
