Today, September 3rd 2023, the second edition of the Spotlight Summer School devoted to examining the potential of documentary filmmaking as a research method in social sciences has come to an end. The Spotlight aims to reveal the dynamics of place attachment and identity in culturally diverse cities through audiovisual.
This year, organizers were pleased to welcome 10 participants from 9 countries (Germany, Czechia, Poland, Romania, Finland, Tukey, France, England and Luxembourg). They represented a great diversity in age, education, experience and nationality.
During one week, from August 27th to September 2nd, they explored the 8th district of Budapest, also called Józsefváros, discovering its rich historical heritage, capturing the neighbourhood's ambience, highlighting myriad micro-histories of its inhabitants and their relations with the urban space.
After completing their engaging and intensive work, they showcased 4 short video etudes at Közkincs Könyvtár library in Budapest on September 2nd.
