The new democratic movements also seem to come with a reemergence of
public space in the sense of life in the street. Even if some
governments use all their powers to  suppress changes, urban
movements seem to give public space a new meaning.  With a focal
point on the largest city of Turkey, the program brings together
different short films discussing urban changes concerning Istanbul,
Damascus, Tel Aviv, Illichevsk (Ukraine), Belfast and Germany.

Urban Research is a special film program during 
the Berlin International Directors Lounge with 
three screenings and a loop program during the 
festival. The program is concerned with urban 
themes curated by Klaus W. Eisenlohr.

For years the urban landscape has been under 
rapid change. Due to the increased economic 
pressure and shift towards mono-functional uses 
of the city, public space more and more vanishes. 
The newly awakened interest in old city centers, 
which is a rather positive development, has also 
created new demands in conjunction with the 
deregulations of national and municipal city 
tasks: the city has mainly become an object for 
real estate investment.

On the other hand, new waves for urban movements 
towards a democratic renewal have appeared. A 
redetermination of public place may have come 
across, a new protest culture against the 
complete commercialization of the city has spread 
in places. Be it called neoliberal, new labor, 
social democratic, political-islam or 
post-Maoism, you name I. The radical loss of 
democratic political influences concerning urban 
development seems to have found a counter force 
in a rediscovery of the political space. The 
above sometimes extreme changes in the urban are 
also being reflected in creative art and film, or 
may even find their unique expression in the arts.
