CANADIAN PREMIERE

You know the city you live in pretty well. At least that’s what you think. In Kazuhiro Goshima’s 2006 experimental film Different Cities a group of people quickly discover that they’ve lost their way in the city they call home. Could an unnamed architect be at the center of their displacement? Goshima, with the help of subtle and convincing computer graphics designed by Kazuya Sakagami, takes his city dwellers into whole new territory both without and within.
