Insitu (2011)

Insitu is a poetic essay and interactive documentary about the urban space in Europe seen through very diverse artistic experiences and interventions. While public spaces are becoming more and more overcrowded, full of noise and anonymity, the film explores alternative poetic and personal imaginings, put in motion through successively monumental, radical, secret and magical experiences, meeting architects, philosophers, dancers, inhabitants, etc. The film tries to question what these in situ experience tell of our times, our urbanity, the way we live in the cities today, and ultimately our freedom. Cinematic, poetic and subtly interactive, both linear and non-linear, Insitu is a city poem that you can move through and explore, interrogating efforts to breath life back into our cities and shared public spaces. It is a drift into a strange and fantasized city where voices resonate in public spaces, where people dance with mechanical diggers, with the traffic, where composers play with it as with an instrument, where people are obsessed with invisible signs, giants, and much more... The city resonates. It is a new documentary experience for the web (interactive film), the cinema (linear version for festivals, cinema and tv) and the mobile (insitu app).
