infrastructure as a service Geographies of Desire: Understanding the Urban Through Film

Programme Date: 13-15 March, 2015 | IIHS Bangalore City Campus
Faculty: Paromita Vohra
Website: http://iihs.co.in/geographies-of-desire/

How can we tell stories about a city? How can we tell stories about ourselves in the city? Is a city made up of stories? Or does the city make up our stories? Does a city have a “feeling” and are some feelings particular to cities?

Cities are not built through planning and building alone. Strong emotional and sensory currents course through cities, shaping our lives and reshaping the cities.

Whether it an imagined career, an imagined life, an imagined exchange, an imagined romance or an imagined self– how do these impact changes in neighbourhoods, built forms and the “nature” of a city? How are intangible urges and desires made tangible in cities? Cities and people live in a dynamic two-way relationship, constantly reshaping each other, based not only on need, but also on desire.

This course will look at the world of desire through films, as a way of understanding the urban. We will look at the many kind of urban narratives present in films – not only their stories, but the many tiny narratives of desire and emotion inside these stories that tell us something about life in the city. Taking off from these insights about cinema/cinematic storytelling desire and the urban we will create multi-media narratives of our own with stills, tiny video clips, basic graphics and text using mobile phones and computers.

Participants will get a small selection of readings which will invigorate and animate the discussion.
