X-VILLE- Français US subtitltes-PrivateView by Jordi COLOMER

"Our age is an age of utopias. There are many of them: the American way of life, Communism, human rights..." With Yona Friedman (Utopies Réalisables, 1974) as a guide, Jordi Colomer introduces us to a city X, an imagined city where it is possible to rethink the way in which time and life are currently organised. He does this for the first time through the medium of a film essay, although his career has always been influenced by the presence of the urban question, the liberation of citizens and the idea of utopia (Las ciudades, 2002; Anarchitekton, 2002-2004; No Future, 2006; L’Avenir, 2011). X-Ville was produced with the collaboration of a group of students and the participation of the inhabitants of the city of Annecy. The production process transcends the logic of representation and has made it possible to build a real collective experience.

Architecte, urbaniste, philosophe et rêveur, Yona Friedman est ici au cœur des expériences collectives mises en place par Jordi Colomer. Des fragments d’ « Utopies réalisables » et de « Où commence la ville » sont lus, tandis que des dizaines d’habitants donnent vie aux mots dans leur ville de carton peint. Colomer y met en scène la société urbaine moderne et rejoue à inventer le monde en interrogeant, joyeusement, ce qui sépare le réalisable de l’utopique, l’utile de l’inutile, l’individu du collectif.
