"Filmmaker Marc Isaacs sets himself up in a London tower block lift. The residents come to trust him and reveal the things that matter to them creating a humorous and moving portrait of a vertical community."

How to use film to show complex spatial relationships: Section through a Banlieue
La Haine (1995), dir. Mathieu Kassovitz

A classic scene from La Haine which gives an overview of a Parisian ‘banlieue’ through an excellent panning shot which is almost like a section through the housing estate. If any of you get to the top of one of the blocks consider how you can use film to show the experience of being up there... and the relationship between neighbouring blocks and the public spaces below.
