Micronomics Film (Ldn)
Under the MICRONOMICS umbrella, City Mine(d) London investigates an understanding of small scale self-organised initiatives –micro-initiatives - and whether the economy has room for them. Such initiatives are difficult to judge by their efficiency and turn-over, but have strong social and political merits
The film looks at the value circulated within a micro-initiative, and investigates their position and impact on the wider [globalized] economy. Are they “an ethical (/bottom-up) alternative for the collapsed economy”, “a radical fringe phenomenon”, “future growth sector” or “just a leisure tie activity”?
Film made in collaboration with Spectacle.
