THIS IS POOR! Patterns of Poverty
Kerstin Honeit
Using the décor from her own family environment and the example of a Berlin property, the filmmaker humorously addresses themes of social class and capitalist urban politics. What does it mean to explore these issues cinematically with your own family? The film challenges societal positioning while subverting the affective frameworks of class.
