Diddly Squat

2020 · 15 min

An intimate, collage-like drift through London squat life that blurs documentary texture with playful animation and leaves you pondering who really owns a home.

Directed by
Frank Lebon
Genres
Drama, Comedy, Animation
Overview
A 15-minute short about squatting in London, the film sees Lebon’s signature melding of cut-and-paste graphics and animation meet disarmingly intimate camera work. Told from the perspective of both the squatter and the squatted, it explores unconventional choices and the moral grey areas found in ownership, public and private living, family and community.
