UrbanEye Film Festival, an event covering themes related to architecture, the city and urban life, will hold a first edition in Cluj-Napoca between May 11 and May 15 at cinema Arta.
So far, the festival has held eight editions in Bucharest.
As an answer to current events, this edition will focus on the destruction of cities and what their reconstruction entails. Through the selected films, the audiences are invited to reflect on the material value of the places destroyed in armed conflicts but mostly on their symbolic, emotional value and on the relationships in the communities inhabiting them.
The festival will also cover themes explored at other editions in Bucharest, including urban development and a focus on works of specific architects and established artists. Besides the documentary film screenings, the program includes special events, talks, guided tours, and workshops for children.
The event opens with a screening of Where to with History, about the efforts of the German city of Dresden to rebuild the edifices lost during the Second World War. The program also includes The Destruction of Memory, a documentary looking at how the destruction of patrimony leads to a loss of the memory of those places, and Warsaw: A City Divided, telling the story of the construction of the Warsaw ghetto and its legacy.
