Movielab: Urban Landscapes
Urban landscapes, industrial & post-industrial sceneries, undergrounds & overgrounds, transportations & speed lines, …
This "Review your classics" compilation will take you on a journey where experimental cinema is inspired by architecture and movements perceived in cities.
Starting in 1905, with a fascinating film-document about the NY subway which was only seven months old at the time, the journey will take you to contemporary explorations of spatial dynamics and singular visions of architecture.
