Bose, S and Tzika, M (2015) Animal city.

Item Type: Film/video
Creators: Bose, S and Tzika, M
Abstract: Two years in the making, Animal City is a city-symphony film that paints the myriad faces of Bombay in the 21st century. It fuses urban film-making with a musical score, creating a style called ‘ethnographic impressionism’ that explores the contrasts of this vast and ever-changing megalopolis. The film-making process was an urban adventure and the artists were fascinated by various facets of the city, particularly the existence of ritualistic practices in a cityscape that is dynamic and always on the move. The film examines the city as a space of performance, change and shock. In doing so, Animal City revisions Bombay for the global age through an audiovisual collage that is vital, experimental, and impressionistic
