Social, political, or personal impacts may be seen differently if seen from different point of views: looking from a global, national, municipal, personal, community-based or journalistic point of view. </p> <p>These new films create spatial contemplations or film essays from Chicago, San Francisco, Berlin, New York, Canada, from a historical literature connection (Kerouac) or even the virtual space of a Si-Fi film series.</p> <p> The screening 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> </td> </tr><tr> <td colspan="2" align="center"><a name="a10"><img src="images/shim.gif" width="10" height="10" border="0" alt=" "></a></td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td class="text"> <p>Urban Research is a film and video program curated since 2006 by Klaus W. Eisenlohr during the Berlin International Directors Lounge festival. Urban Research encompasses explorations of public space, reports of the conditions of urban life and interventions in the urban sphere realized by international film and video artists using experimental, documentary, abstract or fictive forms.</p> <p>The films of this Urban Research selection revolve around visions of the future city, recent and current movements and developments that take their expression in public spaces, urban studies and metaphoric images dealing with urban life. The mix of experimental and more documentary styles complement each other and create a diversity of connected ideas about urban life. </p> </body>
