This City - Louie Haslam-Chance

"This experimental documentary uses montage editing to take the viewer on a personal exploration through the Yorkshire city of Bradford. This City utilises avant-garde techniques inspired by the city symphony genre. The film is accompanied by a beautiful score matching the rhythm of the visual tempo, as well as poetry readings taking us on a journey to discover the essence of this beautiful, troubled, historical city."-Reboot - 2022.com
