Future Suspended

How does a global financial crisis permeate the spaces of the everyday in a city?
This documentary film traces the multiple transformations of crisis-ridden Athenian
public space and those who traverse it. 

Combining geography, anthropology, urban theory and research with visual research
methods and digital design, the project has attempted to read the enormous (and
often devastating) social and political change playing out before our eyes through
the marks it leaves on spaces of the everyday.

The rise of racism and xenophobia and the establishment of unprecedented policing
are viewed through supposedly prosaic urban sites: the Athenian metro, the city's
old and new airports, its highways, squares and streets.
