Cities

In the cities, the changes are rapid and perceptible. Paced by societal, economic and political changes, these metamorphoses have a direct impact on citizens and urban planning. These seven fiction and documentary films reflect acute or long-term urban disruptions. From Recife (Dormir de Olhos Abertos, Retratos Fantasmas) to Beijing (Republic), via Kinshasa (Rising up at Night), Tbilisi (Holy Electricity), Seoul (The Tenants) and Pointe-à-Pitre (L’Homme-Vertige), the inhabitants of megacities share their daily lives made of survival, anxiety and… a lot of imagination!
