Related to the slogan of 1968 "The personal is political", the here presented films talk about personal or private affairs in relation to the public sphere and the urban space.</p> <p>Many of the Urban Research films submitted in 2016 are dealing with private stories, that are related, in one way or the other, to the urban space and expressing the importance of freedom and solidarity for the divergent, the subversive and the liberal mind. The films present the small stories with high artistic aspiration, the nuanced views and the subjective diversity, which are even more important at times when populist positions start to replace distinguished sentiments in culture and politics.</p> <p>A fine selection of Urban Research films shown at 48h Neukölln in addition to a brand new film by Penny Lane. And, films by Petra Lottje, Vladimir Turner, Rob Santaguida, Anna Okrasko, Doris Schmid, Salise Hughes, Eleonore de Montesquiou and Ezra Wube.</p> <p> Urban Research presents a diversity of films connected with architecture, urban space and landscape from documentary to experimental, and will create an interesting visual dialogue about urban space in film. </p> <p>Links:</p> <p><a href="http://www.directorslounge.net" target="UR" title="Directors Lounge"><img src="images/blueSignFwd.gif" width="13" height="13" border="0" alt="Link" title="Link">Directors Lounge: http://www.directorslounge.net</a> </p> <p><a href="../DL2016/framesIndex.html" target="UR" title="Urban Research 2014"><img src="images/blueSignBack.gif" width="13" height="13" align="left" border="0" alt="back">  Urban Research 2016</a></p> </body>
