Homo Urbanus

Homo Urbanus is a cinematic odyssey offering a vibrant tribute to public space. Taking the form of a free-wheeling journey around the world (10 films, 10 cities, 10 hours of films), the project by artist-filmmakers Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine invites a closer look at individual and collective behaviour, interpersonal dynamics, social tensions and the economic and political forces that play out on city streets.

These observational films put urban humanity under the microscope and encourage a closer look at individual and collective behaviour, interpersonal dynamics, social tensions, and the economic and political forces that play out every day on city streets.

Acclaimed artist-filmmakers Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine’s global odyssey presents a series of 45–65 minute films comparing issues linked with daily life.
