Abstract

Recently, films about urban space are facing two-dimensional problems. At first, the film’s inherent indexicality is at stake because of digitalization of cinemas. Secondly, the placeness is dispersed as urban spaces are generalized because of globalization. Due to these two problems, films are losing the existential ability to direct that captures the unique characteristics of urban space. This paper defines that it’s the crisis of indexicality of urban space, and analyze three films that are responding to this crisis. Three Films are Pedro Costa In Vanda’s room, Guy Maddin My Winnipeg and Tom Andersen Los Angeles Plays Itself. Each film is focusing on problem of demolition and displaced people, images of urban space trough private memories and past films about urban space. Films about urban space already handled these subjects in the past. However, these three films approached to urban space unlike the past methods. As a result of analysis, following are strategies of these films. Pedro Costa materializes the sense immanent in displaced people through the visualization of presentness using digital media. Guy Maddin endows urban spaces with mythical properties by converging his own private memories and the history of Winnipeg. Thom Andersen foregrounds urban spaces in the films to describe Los Angeles as backgrounds through the found footage method and contextualizes them historically. To secure indexicality of urban space, these strategies are resisting to non-places and revealing placeness.
