One More Round
Parking is one of the significant city planning problems of Baku. The neighborhoods with high buildings usually lack parking lots and the cars pile up in the backyard of the residence buildings. Children in the neighborhood reclaim the streets! They want to play one more round of soccer, but the already existing limited and shrinking space for a playground is taken away by the cars coming in and out of the yard. Also, children playing in the “playground” of the residential buildings put parked vehicles in danger, and many incidents usually occur. You could see a grumpy person taking their head off of the window and shouting “go play your soccer somewhere else”. City design and the built environment around the residential neighborhoods should take everyone’s needs into account. Including kids who love to play games in the backyard of their apartments…

Holding Space
Holding Space explores the lived experiences of Burmese immigrants in Singapore under the gaze of neighbours in public flats. With a focus on spatial arrangements and housing exteriors, the experimental film challenges the ways architects visualise and instrumentality their ways of seeing, seeking to hold space for subjective experiences and the subtle yet persistent influences on our domestic interiors.

Four Green Chairs In Skanderbeg Square
Every day, for three hours, street musicians take over parts of Skanderbeg Square, the main plaza of Albania’s capital city. They appropriate Tirana’s iconic free-use green chairs to position themselves as part of the urban landscape and engage through music in a spontaneous process of placemaking. This film follows a day in the life of a group of local performers.

Happiness in Copenhagen
I explore Copenhagen across some urban spaces free for everyone where is possible to find Happiness and Relax: inclusive spaces for workout/fitness, playground for children and for people who like to play like a child. New public spaces with a wonderful view on the new Architectures. Special Activity parks with more playfulness that inspire movement and that contribute to the best quality of life for everyone. I filmed my mother (75 years old) who jumps, swings and plays to find happiness in these special urban spaces in Copenhagen.

Material Agency
The film aims at showcasing the diversity of bench design, the use of the bench as well as dismantling the more hostile effects of certain bench designs. It is an investigation of a banal object that we all have an experience with and which we all interact with in our everyday life. The film highlights how the built environment is embedded with a series of material objects and non-human entities that interfere with questions of inclusivity and exclusivity. Furthermore, these non-human objects that seek to perform certain actions will contain some degree of ambivalence, in the sense they will be inclusive fore some actions (and people), while for others the contrary.
