Our City

Directed by Maria Tarantino

The city of Brussels, the capital of Europe we think we know but actually never see. From the rooftops of buildings to their underground foundations, a celebration of the city that still breathes freely.

This is Brussels, the capital of Europe, a city of concrete cages wrapped in glass, planned by businessmen and politicians, set in motion by construction workers, and animated by office people. But there, in the narrow spaces just beyond the reach of bureaucracy, lies the Brussels that still breathes. You can hear its multicultural heart beating and see the traces of all the other cities, the ones each person carries within him/herself. All of us together add up to create the complex body and dissonant identity of Our City.
