Another way to create a place are the mental 
constructions we do in order to connect with 
space. Official history or narrative may not be 
what connects us. Laura Kraning tells a local 
legend about "Devil's Gate" connected with Jack 
Parson and Aleister Crowley, which may or may not 
be connected with perceptions and experiences of 
this place on the periphery of Los Angeles.

Michael Poetschko's film Notebooks on Dislocation 
on the other hand, shows his ways of connecting 
thoughts with places, and thus his film, instead 
of being a lament on loss, is a stream of 
place-related memos. A coherent narrative seems 
not to be missing, instead it would be inadequate.

Other films of the program provide even more 
fragmented stories, like Alexander Isaenko, whose 
images "Wash by Fire" are underlaid by obscure 
imperatives (triggered by urban legends?). Gong 
Wenbo confronts us with our own imagination, of 
what is behind the metal fence in "Le Blue" - the 
blue city?

Mixing experimental fiction, documentary and 
imaginary spatial representations, this is 
possibly the most experimental film program of 
this year's Urban Research.
