EVENT: Open City Documentary Festival. London (online), 9-15 September 2020

The Open City Documentary Festival runs online this year, from 9th to 15th September. The festival features some specific Architecture and Urban Studies-focused programs. Films start from £3 and will be viewable for anyone in the UK.
The American Sector looks at the pieces of the Berlin Wall that have made their way to the USA under various contexts, whilst The Building is a textured portrait of the Derzhprom, the House of State Industry in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Victoria acts as a diary for an African American man working as a groundskeeper for the incomplete California City close to Los Angeles. The short film programme ‘New Geographies’ considers how various locations can be engaged with in different ways, often unlocking unknown stories and associations.
