Urban Research on Film is an ongoing film and video screening project selected by Klaus W. Eisenlohr for Directors Lounge in Berlin. Urban Research presents artists and filmmakers who address the progress of urbanity and who are concerned with urban space and public space in their work.
Program A - Fr. 09 Febr. - 8 pm
Vectorial Spaces
A car drives slowly through an old Detroit theatre building, now a car park. A rapid camera travels in close-up through architectural models creating surreal shots. A singing choir walks through a Helsinki landfill and construction site. A series of images show a postmodern villa in ruins in Israel. A staccato of shots show a bike ride through the streets of Helsinki and resonate with long shots of a Plaza in Montreal in another film.
These films have in common an extraordinary cinematic exploration of space. Not trying to create a representation of reality, the makers are more concerned about perceptions of urban reality than her representation. In these ways, the program relates to relatively new terms in urban geography: topology, our personal mapping and individual spatial practice.
This is a special program at Directors Lounge February 8—18, 2007.
