Then fly flew through the city and see how modern people live. The fly experienced the "kindness" of Bolnisi children towards other creatures. The film shows a typical, old, private Bolnisian house with a courtyard on a summer day.

In the late 90s there were few places where one could go as a kid and have fun. Tbilisi zoo was one of them. While skipping the school, me and my friends would go there often. By that time this place had no much meaning, it was just a place to hide. I have not been to the zoo since childhood, until my kid got 3-4 years old. After almost 20years gap, revisiting this place got me into a big emotional mess. I started to go there for my photo projects, at first, I was obsessed with the architecture of the cages. Later in 2015 Tbilisi flood happened. It resulted in around 20 peoples and in half of the zoo’s animals’ deaths. Some of the wild animals escaped from the zoo and were roaming in the city, just like in Hollywood movies or animations. For me it got more meaning to observe the life of the zoo after the flood. From a happy childhood attraction, it has transformed into a saddest place, which is located in the city center, surrounded by highways and constructions. We go there and take our kids, as if we are getting them used to have fun in a most primitive way.

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.

Contrast (the Setareh Baran mall) is about a commercial project (mall) in the lower part of Tabriz, which was completed in June 2016. And it has a beautiful design that attracts people from nearby and even further away, and it is one of the rarest cases, because such projects are implemented in high-end and expensive areas of Iranian cities, and we do not see such projects in the lower parts of the city. This is very admirable.

What we see with our eyes, we make with our hands is an Albanian proverb, reflecting on our film's main subject: architecture without architects. More specifically our subject is the builders themselves, through the story of Besnik, a halal butcher, who also built together with his friends a bar in the informal settlement of Bathore, on the outskirts of Tirana. His story represents how people left alone by centralised building and housing policies can make their own architecture, infrustructure and urbanism, and find functionality, pride and beauty without adhering to ideals and rules of professional planning. The film was made by buhera klub, a collective consisting of Anna Seress and Anna Zsoldos.

This short orangerie depicts the seasonal growth of Albanian citruses and the warm-hearted fruit sellers hidden behind the even faster growing townscape of Tirana, who supply the capital with short food supply chain Vitamine C from the region.
