Block is a round-the-clock portrait, shot over a duration of ten months, of a 1960s tower block in south east London. The film is a portrait that developed out of this long duration spent there. Patterns of activity around the block build a rhythm and viewing experience not dissimilar to the daily observations of the security guard who watches the flickering screens with their fixed viewpoints and missing pieces of action. Access granted to Richardson's camera, which creates a contrast between the exterior and interior of the building, the impersonal common spaces and the personal spaces of the interior of people’s homes, gives shape to the portrait.
