Borgate 2008

Directed by Lotte Schreiber

Schreiber consistently transfers Don Bosco, which was designed by the city's urban planning department, into rigidly framed images and sequences of serial montage. In the interplay of these mainly static shots and relaxed pans across facades and structural details, combined with quotes from Pasolini and Fellini to Antonioni, Borgate produces a visual and acoustic showcase of failed urban utopias.
