Cal for Entries: Diversity of Places 2nd Annual Film Festival

This year film festival calls for entries on the DIVERSITY OF PLACES that compounds our urban realities. The conference calls for digital films that promote awareness and a critical outlook on how we, all of us, experience place so as to have a better understanding of how it works and affects people’s lives.

Questions, themes, topics and issues to be addressed in the digital film can include, but are not limited to:
* what makes a place a place? where to locate place-ness?
* versions of place: what makes a place sacred or secular, precious or worthless, safe or insecure, open or closed, inclusive or exclusive, …? How are these emotions transmitted and experienced? How are the rules of appropriate behavior in these places enforced or transgressed?
* Who makes places and for whom? who has the right to (re-)make and use such places and why?
