Look Up Film Challenge winners announced at Chicago Architecture Biennial
The winners of the Look Up Film Challenge were announced in Chicago on Saturday as part of the inaugural Chicago Architecture Biennial, sponsored in part by the AIA.
The grand prize winner,
My City Listens, filmed in downtown Los Angeles and submitted by Andrew Jeric and Soha Momeni, is about the interplay between personal identity and the city’s textures. But in
My City Listens, the city plays two roles: an object to discover and a subject to know. The narrator anthropomorphizes Los Angeles as a young woman’s day unfolds, at times at times blithely, at times determinedly. Here is my closest friend, always comforting, always lending an ear, the film’s narrator says about Los Angeles. She is all grace [and] it is so difficult to leave her.
