Short Film
Advanced technologies propel cities to seemingly move on their own. This film is an experimental reflection on the automation, and alienation, underlying the city of Doha—one of the world’s wealthiest capitals. This visual amble through the streets reveals an automated, quirky, and alternative side to the city.
