The Two Sisters Between the Mountains
Tom Ushakov
Albania
A story about the symbiotic relationship between Tirana and its Grand Park told from the point of a dweller. As the city transforms into a bustling metropolis, the pace of change can be overwhelming for some. Now that Tirana has become one of Europe's busiest metropolises it has overwhelmed some, as the rate of change is hard to keep up with. Amidst the towering skyscrapers and rapidly growing structures, the Grand Park serves as a sanctuary of peace and serenity, providing a much-needed escape for the people of Albania. In this film, the park serves as a metaphor for Tirana, symbolising the link between the towering Dajti mountains and the city's new urban landscape. The park now serves as a key protagonist in the Tirana 2030 Design Plan, acting as a beacon for preserving the city's green spaces and preventing urban sprawl.

A Space Between
In a "Space Between", Sophia talks about her personal experiences at the "Kalvebod Waves" in Copenhagen. Between tall buildings and noisy streets, the artist makes her way to the harbour where she spent a lot of time during her Erasmus: "The harbour of Copenhagen is like the Central Park for me". Sophia originally comes from a suburb near New York. In this public space she feels a safety in numbers as a queer person. She likes to spend time alone, but also with her best friend Isa. Leah Meinhof directed, filmed and edited the short documentary. Sophia Livecchi tells her personal story.
