BEAUTIFUL PLAYGROUNDS

A planned residential area typical of Eastern Europe, with running commentary from an end-user. A father takes us through the Kiev neighbourhood of Rusanivka, a residential area typical of those constructed in the seventies: a lot of greenery, neglected playgrounds, cracked asphalt, drunks on the streets at night, and then the day after.

The Festival of Film and Urbanism, based in the Ukrainian city of Slavutych, the city purposely built for the evacuated personnel of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, recently came up with a compe-tition entitled “My Street Films Ukraine”, which called on everyone across the Ukraine to pick up a camera and, under expert supervision, film a local-interest story. The festival then screened thir-teen of these works, which reflect on contemporary urban life in six Ukrainian cities; Berezhany, Kiev, Kherson, Kramatorsk, Novoyavorivsk and Simferopol. Though the approach of the individual works may differ, ranging as it does from self-shot footage to conceptual art, the focus of all the featured films remains unmistakably true to immediate reality.
