SPECTRE
Vadym Sapatrylo
Ukraine
Evolved as an audiovisual collaboration, ‘Spectre’ is an artistic depiction of megalopolis tension on an individual. A reflection on urbanization and overpopulation in hyperbolized scale. A ghost of the foreseeable future questioning a significance of one’s role in the giant mechanism. Shot mostly in Kyiv, Ukraine.

Terrain Vague
‘Terrain Vague’ is a term for spaces that have been unintentionally transformed as the result of design and planning action. The short film reveals the qualities of a Terrain Vague and its users in Versailles in an urgent but poetic tone, inspired by the work of Jem Cohen. ‘Terrain Vague’ is an ode to urban margins everywhere that highlights the shelter these places offer to people that find themselves, either through choice or misfortune, outside of the norms society. The explored terrain in the film is the indirect consequence of planning regulations related to the nearby Palace and Gardens of Versailles. Large parts of the urban fabric of the relatively small town of Versailles cannot be significantly altered due to the UNESCO heritage status of the Palace and Gardens. The development and use of these heritage sites are under strict control as a way to manage, preserve and propagate narratives in the collective memory. The static character of the heritage site has led to the developing of a modern margin to host activities, people and developments that are deemed not fitting within the cultural narrative. As such the Terrain Vague provides space for the people and functions that do not comply with the aesthetic and societal standards of heritage preservation.

Conversation with the city
Conversation with the city' explores the process of welcoming in Copenhagen, through the stories of two strangers at different times. The Norrebro neighborhood has become the place where both of them belong: its diversities shaped the area in a welcoming architecture. Actually, it is a process, that starts from Norreport Station and continues until Superkilen Park. It has to be a process of care for humans, for their perceptions, and for places as well: in that sense, it is similar to the first conversations we make in order to feel welcomed in a new city.
