ABSTRACT
Film is emerging as an experimental method to present new languages of multiplicity – a practice that enables us to ‘listen to the city murmurs, to catch stories, to read signs and spatial poetics’. 1 In form, film has the potential to co-present multiple and conflicting voices with more conventional types of planning information and data; voices, text, image and data can coexist on the same screen, simultaneously offering multiple versions of a story. 2 Inevitably, the complexities of using film influence how we as engagement practitioners think about listening to and presenting stories of difference, growth and change – and how we think about how we ourselves are part of the story. Invitation
See how communities become dialogic sets for engaging with sensitive social issues. Leonie Sandercock, Giovanni Attili and Jonathan Frantz are practitioners and academics experimenting with film both for engagement and as engagement.
