Watch the rest of the film at vimeo.com/channels/thiscityisabody “You know I thought if people were just nicer to each other things would be better. It's not rocket science. But actually it is rocket science, it's really, really hard...” Over four years, 50 people from different cultural backgrounds, but from the same city, worked on one crazy art project together. The action was documented on video by many different people, on many different cameras. The resulting edit unfolds an invisible, bird's eye view of the project: the film This City is a Body. It is a portrait of Sydney, Australia, from the ground up. An examination of a place built on a history of migration: against a backdrop of four years in Australia's history when a race riot, desperate refugees and citizenship tests seemed to dominate the political agenda. This film is for anyone who has wondered about mapping more than a city's streets. Take me home: thiscityisabody.com/pages/movie Presented by CuriousWorks. thiscityisabody.com curiousworks.com.au
