Über diesen Titel

 Imaginary City is a podcast that explores urban spaces through the magic of the movies. The city is a cultural symbol but also a real place where more people than ever before live, love, work and dream. What can the imaginary cities of our favourite films teach us about the built environment and how it shapes our lives? Join us on Imaginary City to find out.Copyright Imaginary City Kunst

    Cleo From 5 to 7
    Nov 25 2024
    Chance encounters, cat ladies, and a car-infested Paris. On this episode we discuss the 1962 French New Wave classic Cleo from 5 to 7, directed by Agnes Varda and starring Corrine Marchand. Come tour the streets of the City of Love with a beautiful, young chanteuse as she learns to confront her own mortality, while sitting in cafes and shopping for hats. Learn about gender mainstreaming, how Paris narrowly escaped being destroyed by highways, and why just walking down the city street as a woman can be a radical act of resistance.

    Blade Runner
    Mar 10 2024
    Rogue replicants, flying cars, and a gritty vision of LA that’s a little bit Mayan and a lot Beijing by way of New York. On this episode we discuss the 1982 sci-fi cult classic Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and Sean Young. In Blade Runner the future is fusion and Los Angelos is dense and walkable (too bad about the killer robots and the nuclear winter). Our imagined urban futures can tell us a lot about our current fears and anxieties, but in reality the future of cities are looking bright. Maybe we don’t need to leave for the off-world colonies, just yet.

    Chinatown
    Jan 21 2024
    LA! Murder! Conspiracy! Incest! And you thought civic infrastructure was boring. On this episode we discuss the classic 1974 neo-noir classic Chinatown, directed by Roman Polanski, and starring Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway. We separate fact from fiction in the California Water Wars as we explore this fascinating tale of power and corruption and how cities get built. Along the way we ask the question: who is the American Dream really for?
