Highrise stories - non-linear documentary and the city

Abstract

I don’t think there is anything more powerful than a human story to help us understand the contemporary city and the social dynamics that shape it. The documentary connects us with the city at a human level and a macro-level. I’ve been fortunate to exercise documentary outside of its traditional structures using participatory methods and interactive storytelling. This has allowed me to perceive the contemporary city in unimaginable and creative ways that go beyond the camera’s gaze.
