screening of a film produced by Neutral ((UK)
15 and 16 September 2005, Revolution Square, Bucharest
An experimental film about the contemporary city seen as a global entity, creation of the British group, Neutral. Images shot in two different cities, London and Bombay, are combined, mixed or superimposed, common places are explored, placed in contradiction or highlighted, deliberately avoiding geographical sources and outlining a weird experience of modern living.
The film explores the subjective perceptions of a global urbanity, plays with the imagination, expectations and prejudices of the audience. The images of urban flows are combined in an elaborate choreography and a complex setting, using music as a driving force. The spontaneous slow down of the flows increases the attention and selective perception of urban elements. Neutral produces digital creations for the top names of contemporary architecture: Zaha Hadid, Herzog de Meuron, David Chipperfield. The screening took place in the Revolution Square, part of the George Enescu Festival.
