You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know, Do You?
Reflections on the history of Bradford Resource Centre (BRC), a key hub for community action in Bradford.
18 - 19 Oct, 11am-3pm
This film explores BRC’s legacy in the aftermath of a 2024 flood, which damaged the BRC space and archive.
The film follows the people who organised around 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 splices 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 connects this material to contemporary workshops (with producer Joel White and youth film collective Toothless Films) and archival projects, disrupting what it means to engage with the archive and how this might inform future political struggles.
This special premiere screening will see the film projected within the BRC space itself, alongside another chance to see material from the exhibition Resources for Democracy: A People’s History of Bradford Resource Centre.
