This film programme is an attempt to understand the contested relationship between us and the city, being more than mere geographic areas in which we reside in the here and now. Cities are problematic, in their past or present, in their sense of transformation or stillness. Regardless of criteria, there remains a complicated relationship between the individual/filmmaker and the city/locale in which he resides. For the city is the anchor that fortifies our identities, raising questions beyond the cliché of belonging. This relationship is an ongoing process of questioning the meaning of “Belonging” itself, turning the tangible geographic mass into a psychological, emotional, and mental one, harboring conflicting feelings.
