Gardens of Stone focuses on the impact major housing developments have made on inner city life in Liverpool over the past 100 years.
The screening of the film is being supported by the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (http://fact.co.uk/)'s Tenantspin (http://www.tenantspin.org/) project with funding from the Liverpool Culture Company (http://www.liverpoolculture.com/).
Contributors to the soundtrack include The Farm, China Crisis, The Mighty Wah, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Christians and the Real Thing.
Film maker Paul Sudbury said: "A number of notable musicians have supported the project, many by allowing their music to be used in the production.
"The film focuses upon the impact on inner city residents of the major redevelopments in the 20th Century, and includes interviews with past residents of the tenement blocks.
"The next stage of the project is to produce a DVD of the film for general release with an initial run of 1,000 discs."
Paul is employed by Alliance and Leicester, one of the Culture Company's Official Partners, and they have also supported the project.
Gardens of Stone is a social history documentary of the former Gerard Gardens area of Vauxhall, and aimed to bring together the communities of Holy Cross, St. Joseph's and St. Anthony's.
The film traces history of the area from the 1920s up to the demolition of the tenements in the 1980s. It details the many physical changes which transformed the surrounding area during the last century.
