The film addresses the issues around the lack of public trash bins around the central parts of the city. Already existing general irresponsibility of the citizens and the institutions with waste management gets worse when people need help finding trash bins in public spaces to dispose of their own trash. The situation leaves many parts of the city with open trash in the streets. Although it is cleaned regularly, still the inconvenience is real when one feels responsible and is in need of a bin to dispose of the trash.

Lynetteholm is an artificial island off the coast of copenhagen planned to be finished in 50 years. The project is yet another example of anthropocentric architectural expansion. I expanded it upon the lens of ecofeminism, by putting into question this human urge to colonize the landscape and species living in it. I used essay film as the medium; sometimes footage from Copenhagen zoo, symbolizing the colonial history and human supremacy, blends in with actual footage from the construction site. As the voice-over, I asked a friend of mine, to answer a question: "what would you put on an island if you had an island"?

Tbilisi has a lot if underground crossing for pedestrians and it's role and only purpose was to help people cross the roads with intensive car traffic. However, with time they have turned into multifunctional public spaces, places where people communicate with each other - shops, beauty salons, ateliers, pharmacies and many more. At the same time, at night, the underground crossing transforms into absolutely different space - dark and dangerous, especially for women. The film explores the underground crosses from all sides of its multifunctional meanings.

Community architect and environmental activist Kevin Kimwelle from South Africa is demystifying architecture for people with a social cause, who wouldn't be able to afford an architect. He and his team of engineers and volunteers are building community centers, creches, schools and other social structures by entirely relying on local and repurposed industrial materials that he recycles for construction. His idea of a cycle economy expands also to independent energy production through bio gas from human waste.
