Can we foil human hubris and put a stop to relentless growth? How to resist urban alienation and preserve affective ties? The five films selected for this program, all completed between 2022 and 2023 as part of the Atelier 105 residency program, engage with these concerns by proposing a range of perspectives and strategies – from a contemplative, dystopian or even post-apocalyptic stance, to flânerie and the creation of informal networks situated on the fringes of urban centers and based on curiosity and play.

Atelier 105 is a residency program offered by Light Cone with the support of the support of the Ile-de-France Region. The residency celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, with over 150 films supported to completion so far and many other currently in progress.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers in attendance.
