A personal glimpse into Madrid, an experimental urban cityscape, an ode to life through a dance.
Director Biography - Kostas Petsas
A visual storyteller, co-founder of Arte Cinematica in Greece. He has a long term experience in producing storytelling wedding films, mastering the art of anamorphic lenses and creating corporate videos. "Ciudad de mi corazón" is the first attempt to do a personal narrative, conceived, written and filmed all in one week in Madrid.
Director Statement I believe that mixing different forms of art, such as poetry, photography, music and video can enhance the storytelling process and produce a higher emotional impact. "Ciudad de mi corazón" is an attempt to do a short narrative in the form of what could be considered as "street cinematography". This is a personal narrative, conceived, written and filmed all in one week in Madrid.
