Filmmakers Tiago Albinski and Patrick Delhougne Attending for Q&A!
As a film scholar and cinephile I find the city in cinema and in waking life to have a heartbeat all its own. Each has its own vibe, its own feel. Many places also have similar auras about them. One image of the city I have always been fascinated with is the derelict, the forgotten...memories that linger while urban decay sets in. I often found it ironic to see developers grab up untouched areas while the "up and coming" of yesterday lies derelict. Spaces from not but a few decades ago are in shambles looking like they are over 100 years old. The malls of the 70s and 80s are now turning into abandoned ghost towns...strip malls across American suburbia lie vacant and abandoned, a waste of space while new buildings are being built not too far away. Why do we not reuse these spaces? How do they become so dilapidated? These dystopian spaces are forming right under our noses. These shorts testify to the various personalities of these spaces and images of the city
