Metropolitans and the different stories created in them through the eyes of the individuals experiencing them. This programme explores the urban landscape and what it means to find your place in a city that never stops moving. Chaotic streets, vibrant alleys, metro platforms, skylines, and the cities’ raw, unpolished beauty become the setting in this programme’s films.

Public Lighting
David wakes up in the middle of the night during another fight between his parents. He doesn't want to listen to them again, so he puts on his headphones and leaves for the city. The sidewalk determines his trajectory, from which he gradually breaks away and, through contemplation of the public world, explores his inner world. The world calls him to the club, to the street, to the taxi. He drifts through the night until morning. The public lighting will never stop shining.

Solitaire
In the depths of an urban landscape, a woman in her forties embarks on a solitary journey through the city streets. As she walks alone, a mysterious man materializes before her, his intentions unclear. The film delicately navigates the tense encounter without explicitly revealing the outcome, instead focusing on the woman's resilience and inner transformation. Perched atop a wonder wheel, she finds solace amidst the city's chaos, gazing upon the majestic skyline as night gives way to a breathtaking sunrise, igniting a newfound strength within her. This experimental avant-garde film invites viewers to contemplate the resilience of the human spirit and the power of personal triumph in the face of adversity.
