Description
Like the main program, the short film selection offers a range of perspectives on how the image of the city is portrayed and perceived in film, but with a focus on London and an emphasis on documentary film and animation.
The psycho-documentary animation Feeling My Way (1997) not only shows the director’s physical journey from home to the office through the city streets we also delve into his inner state, his thoughts, feelings, and fantasies.
And only in Lift (2001), a seminal film of early 2000s British observational documentary, do Londoners not travel through the city or run through the park, but remain in a confined space the elevator of a typical high-rise building. Director Mark Isaacs spent two months filming in the elevator, observing the residents, gradually building relationships with them, and revealing their everyday lives sometimes gently encouraging them to talk to one another.
Screening in English with Russian and Kazakh subtitles.
