    Default know any films with dereliction?

    Helloo all. I wonder if anyone can help me out. I've been filming for an experimental film that looks at the derelict sites dotted around the midlands and , in particular Stoke on Trent. Looking at everythhing thats left behind in these empty shells of the potteries industry, from the rusty machinery to the dust, which has stood there for years with nothing but light entering the buildings.
    I'm just researching at the mo and I wondered if anyone knows of any films, experimental or not, that deal with dereliction in any way?. I've found a few that are local videos for museums but I can't think of many feature films that look at dereliction in such a big way. Anyone know of any?

    Don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but Dark Days might fit the bill: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0235327/

    It's about squatters that have made a home for themselves in a derelict portion of the New York subway near Penn Station. Derelict souls living in derelict surrounds etc.

    Even if it doesn't quite fit the bill it's a quality documentary and has a cracking DJ Shadow soundtrack as well.

    Yes! nice one walterpill! There is one particular factory I've spending alot of time looking at. I met a guy two weeks ago who has been living on the top floor under a table for three years. I considered changing the angle of the film complety and focusing purly on "Carl" but didn't know how to do it. Dark Days will give me a few ideas no doubt. Sounds pretty cool, cheers.
