Marina GIOTI slightly modifies a propaganda film created under the dictatorship of the Colonels in 1970’s Greece. Romana SCHMALISCH combines current images of Volgograd with audio extracts from a Soviet propaganda film ‘The Promise’ in which Stalin plans et creates ‘his city’, reborn as Stalingrad. Teresa SOLAR ABBOUD goes back to the sites where the film Lawrence of Arabia was shot in 1962 and where, at that time, an oasis had been built, which lived on after for more than 50 years. Magnus BÄRTÅS documents the history of the South Korean film star, Choi Eun-Hee, and her director husband, both kidnapped in 1978 by the North Koreans, with the aim of offering them a generous filmmaking budget. François BUCHER retraces a real event that happened during a theatre seminar at the University of Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia, where two students doing a project on Jean Genet decide to play a hoax – an armed kidnapping.

Sabrina HARRI throws herself, literally, at advertising posters portraying bodies in urban public places. Mercedes Molla MARFIL acts on the frustration felt by a consumer in a supermarket, by grabbing products eyed by other shoppers, just as they are trying to take the products themselves. Jason WORKMAN improvises a rhythmic choreography in the business district of Greensboro, North Carolina. Wojciech GILEWICZ develops a strategy for urban camouflage, redesigning furniture redessine le mobilier en trompe d’oeil. as an optical illusion. Arne BUNK films the city of Wolfsburg, historical center for Wolkswagen automobile production, molded by large-scale architectural projects since the 20’s, imperatively marking it as a city for production. Isabelle HAYEUR films the DIX30 district in Brossard, the biggest “lifestyle center” in Canada, and confronts us with the loss of our physical orientation at the profit of cultural stereotypes, which have become universal with the help of globalization. Twenty years after the destruction of the wall, Reynold REYNOLDS shows us the demolition of the “Palast der Republik”, the palace of the Republic of former East Germany built in Berlin in 1976. Redmond ENTWISTLE proposes three previews of films yet to be adapted from classic 20th century novels about life in Belfast, focusing on the city’s project to adapt to the new economy with a film industry and new technology. Anibal CATALAN films the building of useless construction sites, in an enormous metropole, a metaphor for the ridiculous nature of symbols of power. Le collectif DEMOCRACIA choreographs and stirs up a crowd of supporters in a stadium during a football game. The representation and the mise en scene of the stirred up congregation takes on a new meaning, that of a force which is demanding, poetic and absurd. Arjen DE LEEUW films two men in a control room keeping watch on a volcano with the help of their screens and cursors, giving us the impression that they can control and change the forces of nature.

Damir CUCIC edits images of Vukovar taken during the Serbo-Croatian war. While the murderers chase their prey, the camera escapes, disoriented, into the forest. In “ Das Lied ist aus”, Ivan FAKTOR combines war images shot in the Croatian city of Osijek with clips from the soundtrack of Fritz Lang’s “M le Maudit”, laying out a macabre portrait of a city devastated by irrational forces and invisible murderers. In “Kangaroo Court” which is set in a disused factory in Zagreb, Ivan FAKTOR adapts the scene from “M le Maudit” where the Berlin subway crowd judges and accuses the murderer. Pieter GEENEN films the Three-Gorges dam in China and questions the meaning of such a devastated landscape. Basma ALSHARIF also explores the ultimate disillusion that comes when material images fail to communicate the tragedy of a country at war. Till ROESKENS asked the inhabitants of the camp Aïda in Bethlehem to draw a map of their surroundings. The film shows the drawings being created, accompanied by narratives, which bring life to these subjective geographies. Soren Thilo FUNDER shows us men and women on the outskirts of a city, joined together to banish the bandit “Friedlos” (the Wolf-man bandit). They play out the banishing ritual in which they attach the outcast to a horse before exiling him from the city. Lida ABDUL films children transforming airplane scrap into kites in a suburb of Kabul.
