| STATE OF INDEPENDENTS | |||
| Date: 2002 Film Number: 12929 | |||
| A look at the effects of a boom in city centre living on the independent traders in Manchester's Northern Quarter, an area regarded as the creative heart of the city, with its record labels, clothes shops, and music venues. These arts and music related industries provide two of Manchester’s main exports – ‘music and streetstyle fashion’. But the Northern Quarter is affected by the increased popularity of city centre living amongst young urban professionals. Though residential development brings much needed investment, how can an area in need of physical regeneration retain its character and freedom by not pricing out small creative concerns and businesses? Club promoter Luke Unabomber and Jeni Chan from the Oldham Street bar ‘Night and Day’ are amongst those discussing the issue.

| PORTRAIT OF HULME | |||
| Date: 2002 Film Number: 12961 | |||
| Hulme in Manchester is an area which has seen constant change and redevelopment in the last few decades. The 1960s clearance of old slum housing brought about the introduction of the ‘streets in the sky’, deck-access flats where it was hoped that the community atmosphere of the demolished terraces would flourish once more. This did not happen, and by the 1980s, the Crescents of Hulme had become notorious and a stark warning of what can happen when urban redevelopment goes wrong. In this short documentary, local people voice their concern about the changes they see happening in their area in the 21st century. These include the building of student accommodation and private housing, and the effect this will have on the local community. There are scenes from a Hulme Community Consultation Day at the Zion Centre, with residents critical of the council's approach, and shots of the new Hulme taking shape.
