On housing injustice, civil disobedience and the right to shelter.

Amidst Toronto’s freezing winter and an escalating housing crisis, carpenter Khaleel Seivwright begins building insulated micro-shelters for people forced to sleep outside. His simple, hands-on response to a growing emergency draws international attention – and strong opposition from city authorities. Someone Lives Here is a powerful documentary about dignity, systemic failure, and who gets to shape the city.

Narrated by Taka, a woman living in one of the shelters, the film documents a deeply human struggle for survival and justice, while questioning why effective grassroots solutions are so often met with resistance.

The screening is introduced by Bo Heide-Jochimsen from Projekt UDENFOR, an organisation working with people experiencing homelessness in public space.

A film by Zack Russell,

year: 2023, length: 75 min.

Two short films; “Docking” and “Der er ikke plads til os”, will be shown in continuation of the film.

Om bolig-u­retfærdighed, civil ulydighed og retten til ly.

Midt i Torontos isnende vinter og en eskalerende boligkrise begynder tømrer Khaleel Seivwright at bygge isolerede mikrosheltere til mennesker, der er tvunget til at sove udendørs. Hans enkle, håndgribelige svar på en voksende nødsituation tiltrækker international opmærksomhed – og stærk modstand fra byens myndigheder. Someone Lives Here er en stærk dokumentarfilm om værdighed, systemfejl og spørgsmålet om, hvem der får lov at forme byen.

Filmen er fortalt af Taka, en kvinde der bor i en af shelterne, og dokumenterer en dybt menneskelig kamp for overlevelse og retfærdighed – samtidig med, at den stiller spørgsmålstegn ved, hvorfor effektive, lokale løsninger så ofte mødes med modstand.

Visningen introduceres af Bo Heide Joakimsen fra Projekt UDENFOR, en organisation der arbejder med mennesker der oplever hjemløshed i det offentlige rum.

En film af Zack Russell,

år: 2023, varighed: 75 min.

To kortfilm, “Docking” og “Der er ikke plads til os”, vises i forlængelse af filmen.
