Description

What are frontier zones in modern urban cities? The summer school aims to explore and invent the urban with the method of documentary filmmaking and (sound-) fieldrecording as media to provide new insights and readings of the contemporary city. Our mode of working is strongly collaborative. Between participants and teachers as with the people we film and record on the streets of São Paulo. There is no neutral observer, but authors with different cultural and personal backgrounds.
