Low Rent

Overview

Low Rent spans the year that director Cloudberry MacLean spent secretly living in a hut she built on her allotment in 2005. It follows the full cycle of the seasons and captures moments such as early dawn from the hut doorway, a fox running with a scavenged egg in her mouth and trees bending with fruit. In its course she explores questions about land ownership in Scotland, class, poverty, colonialism and how the violence of capitalism and the joy of life meet in our bodies.
