City of Poets plot

Personal archive footage and photographs sketch the history of a metaphorical town with streets that all bear the names of poets. The psychogeography of this town defines the mental and emotional state of its inhabitants: they live a utopian illusion based on poetry. When the system changes, war begins and refugees flood in, new neighborhoods emerge. Existing street names are replaced.

Seen at Go Short Festival. This was really very boring. It is not a film, but a sequence of photos. The PowerPoint presentation is accompanied by a slowly told story about transience, in the metaphor of a city.
