Urban symphonies are a genre within experimental and documentary cinema: architectural recordings, everyday actions, travel diaries. This film-performance shares scenes of Los Angeles filmed in 2022. Geometric forms, human movement, glazes, reflections, the interplay of filters, and the transition from black and white to color expand the image, opening multiple windows. A pulse-pounding depiction of this great metropolis.

Subjective camera tribute to Beckett and Keaton. A sequence of images edited on camera with a posteriori sound intervention. Cinescape opens windows through the bars. Its title invites the viewer to let go, be taken away by the lens-shot. A double move in which a shot makes the world its prey and releases it again in the projection: a game of light and shadow. Cinescape is an invented compound word Cine (cinema) + escape. At the same time, phonetically it sounds exactly the same as “sin escape”, which means no or without escape. Sound intervention: ROM (Roberto Etcheverry & Omar Grandoso).
