The films:
An Island (6:26) by Marta Dubiel, Petr Gabriel, Daria Valova-Lynch)
To discover a place where everyone can find shelter, feel free, and be together with other people who dream of a different future for themselves, creating an alternative community, one needs to leave the main street and immerse oneself in the other world of the "Third Space."
Suspicious look (10:28) by Marit Kleinert and Céline Ohoundegnon
The film presents different voices about the distant and not-so-distant history of the district and the personal stories connected with it, reflecting on how the "real" and "imagined" narration about the past may influence today's relationships of its inhabitants.
Hands (8: 23) by Elisa Greco, Julia Ślusarczyk, Hanne Ateş
The film depicts the daily lives of a small community that gathers near Bucharest's largest market, Obor, to play chess or backgammon. It shows how the time spent playing and sharing their passion for these games helps to maintain strong and lasting social bonds.
7th sector (5:36) by Isabel Pastor, JC Viloria, Julia Bantouvaki
What is the price of building a modern capitalist European state after the fall of the communist regime, and who bears this cost? How are memory and architecture connected? Who builds the national identity? The film 7th Sector aims to address these and other inquiries.
The event is co-organised by HUN-REN RCAES Geographical Institute and Civil Művek
Spotlight summer school is supported by the University of St Gallen, Centre for Culture Governance in Europe
