Filmed over four years across kitchen tables, protests and public meetings, this documentary follows a city fighting for itself as a broken property market chews up its citizens for profit. Rooted in Dublin, it reveals global forces reshaping cities, where homes are assets and people are obstacles.

A quick teaser. That's Legion of One's "Problems Cascade" in the background from a release back in November on Front End Synthetics. Shouts to @aoboyle.bsky.social for letting us raid that release! Proper heavy weight business.

Huge thanks is also owed to the absolute rake of musicians and producers who lent us music for the soundtrack during a frantic last minute scramble once we were locked in for the #DIFF2026 screening. There'll be more on that later, but trust us - it absolutely slaps!

Some initial stills from the project. Teasers and more to come.

Filmed over four years, Displace: The Battle For Dublin is a documentary about the trauma of developer-led change and the community resistance that follows.

It's made the official selection at #DIFF2026. Screening Sun Feb 22, 13:30 at the Lighthouse Cinema.
