Granary Squares is a fascinating slice of life in the midst of urban transformation. Directed by Gonçalo Lamas, it’s not your typical documentary. The film uses the lens of an unremarkable surveillance camera as a storytelling device, which gives it this oddly detached yet intimate feeling. You kind of get lost in the mundane rhythms of city life and the constant flow of people. It’s all about the little moments, really, the way folks interact with the space around them. The pacing is deliberate and contemplative, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of King's Cross. There's a certain rawness to the footage that’s captivating, making you think about public space in a private context.
