Designed and directed by Jacques Lévy
This film explores the concept of urbanity through the observation of the city throughout the World, especially in China. This ambitious theoretical project establishes also an intense dialogue with Italo Calvino’s ‘invisible cities’. Finally, the film is a manifesto, a contribution to a novel, contemporary cinematographic language, relevant to scientific research.
