These shots, of barely a few seconds of tremendous violence, show parts of the dead body and the architecture of the city.

Alone, apart : the dream reveals the waking day7mn color & b/w stereo 2004 USA
by Mark Street
An hommage to the two ramshackle cities, made up of footage shot while wandering. I meander city streets with a camera, looking to be haunted by unfamiliar vistas. I find solace in the forgotten landscapes, odd voices on a ham radio, shimmering water in a desolate harbor. Later I attack the film, moving it this way and that, trying to squeeze it against its will, wrest strangeness from the everyday.

Arcs of Texture6mn color stereo 2006 USA
by Ken Paul Rosenthal
"Arcs of Texture" is a lyrical, energized portrait of an urban landscape in motion. Underground trains, streetcars, buses and escalators embody the impressionistic beauty of architectural reflections like moving paintings. The face of the city is rendered as a light-infused intersection of people, glass, and concrete. The first part takes place underground, and is characterized by an audio collage mixed from ambient recordings of subway stations and trains. The second part takes place above ground and features an original score with gamelans, guitar loops, sampled car door locks and brake pumps.

Davanti5mn25 color stereo 2013 Italy
by Salvatore Insana
In front of my eyes there are your faces, in front of my lens there are your activities, in front of my soul there are your monsters. Looking out the window with tremble and fear, capturing the neighbours' external interface. But that's not a peep inside, is a dwelling on what comes out.
