La Passeggiata

short film, HD, bw, 5min33;
DE, 2021

A young woman loses herself thoughtfully in the architectural backdrop of Marzahn in Berlin. Matching scenes and sounds from "La Notte" (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1964), the film examines the cinematic quality of Marzahn's formerly utopian urbanity. The protagonist's melancholy is reflected in empty spaces and planned urban infrastructure.
