Your Hackney

Your Hackney was a campaign attached to a short film competition, addressed to Hackney youth. The closing date of the competition was 19 April 2013.

Its poster on the Hackney community bulletin board read, "This poster isn't about postcodes or gangs or negativity. This poster is about you and your friends & your talent, your creativity, your individuality. Your Hackney." (TV: For Tonight We Might Die)

Behind the scenes
Though not made clear, the poster, as well as the film competition, are an anti-smoking campaign. The youth of Hackney are encouraged to make short films about tobacco-related issues.

The competition is called Hackney Cut Films, launched in 2012. The name of the competition is on the poster, but too small onscreen to read.
