Bradford Resource Centre

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know, Do You?

This film reflected on the history of Bradford Resource Centre (BRC), a key hub for community action in Bradford.

This film explored BRC’s legacy in the aftermath of a 2024 flood, which damaged the BRC space and archive.

The film followed the people who organised the task of sorting through vast swathes of material housed within the BRC building.

Developed through Adam Lewis Jacob’s ongoing interest in counterculture movements, archives, and radical history, the film spliced together a rich variety of materials—VHS tapes, photographs, flyers, minutes, and music—animating the political questions and shifting aesthetic and technological visions of this vital history. The film connected this material to contemporary workshops (with producer Joel White and youth film collective Toothless Films) and archival projects, to disrupt what it meant to engage with the archive and how this might inform future political struggles.

This special premiere screening saw the film projected within the BRC space itself.

Credits
Organised by Friends of Bradford Resource Centre, with support from Bradford 25, the Lipmann-Milliband Trust and the British Art Network. Facilitated in partnership with People’s Property Portfolio, who were overseeing the next phase of BRC’s life.
