Film screening: Ecumenopolis – City without Limits
Thursday June 20th @ 21.00 we screen at Op de Valreep (Polderweg 620, A'dam) Ecumenopolis, a documentary on Istanbul’s neoliberal urban transformation and its ecological, social and economic impacts.
Taksim Everywhere, Resistance Everywhere: We have in our June and July program three solidarity events for the uprisings in Turkey. The screening of Ecumenopolis is the first of them and introduces the background of the uprisings in Istanbul.
‘’Ecological limits have been surpassed. Economic limits have been surpassed. Population limits have been surpassed. Social cohesion has been lost. Here is the picture of neoliberal urbanism: Ecumenopolis. Ecumenopolis aims for a holistic approach to Istanbul, questioning not only the transformation, but the dynamics behind it as well. From demolished shantytowns to the tops of skyscrapers, from the depths of Marmaray to the alternative routes of the 3rd bridge, from real estate investors to urban opposition, the film will take us on a long journey in this city without limits.’’
