A quick update for Melbournians up for something interesting (and free!)
The good folks at MIFF are bringing a series of documentaries to the big screen in Federation Square on Thursday November 24, and the first two are films about Asian megacities that proved popular at MIFF 2010. We figured HC’s readership might be interested, so here’s the deal:
From 6:30pm to 8:30pm, they’re screening two of the Danish Cities on Speed documentaries. The first, Nanna Frank Møller’s Shanghai Space, looks at the problem of planning Shanghai, a city that grows at the rate of half a million people a year. The second film, Camilla Nielsson and Frederik Jacobi’s Mumbai Disconnected, examines the infrastructure of Mumbai, which is having trouble keeping up with its burgeoning population.
Both pics are an hour long, and the screenings are free. There’s more info here at the MIFF site about both these films and the rest of the program!
