Dreams from the Cityscape - a film [4K]

This is a retro film that ponders and explores the existence of cities. I am very inspired by filmmakers such as Wong Kar Wai and Andrei Tarkovsky and their incredibly beautiful films. Inspired by the look of old 16mm and 35mm films and generally 80's Hong Kong flms, I set out to capture my thoughts.

Have you ever wondered whether a "city" is a sentient being? Are cities alive? If so, what makes them alive. Is it its history? Is it its timelessness? Is it the shared reality of "the observer" and "the observed"? From Hong Kong to Bangkok to Istanbul to Toronto, what do cities have in common? If so, this film is for you.
I mostly shot this during my travels, except for the clips of Hong Kong, Montreal, Istanbul and Sri Rangam. Credits below.
Shot mostly on iPhone 13 Pro Max.
To achieve the film look, I used node-based negative and print film emulations "CinePrint16 - Film Emulation" for Davinci Resolve by Tom Bolles.

It's not a cliche to say that part of my soul is in this film, as I shot this around the world, over the course of several months. My observations, memories and musings, all part of this film. Hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for your support. - Sudha

Do you live in a big city? Do you enjoy living in or visiting a big city? How does it make you feel?

You are still as inspiring as you always have been. Hope there's a platform for more profound and hard-worked products.

I'm not often captivated by these short films, but I have to say you made something very special here. Just beautiful shots and all in all a warm and comforting athomsphere. Keep up the good work man! I would love to see more of your work!

Yay you posted again dude! Awesome video as usual 👏 your experience of cities certainly differs from my own, but it was interesting to see/hear about such a uniquely different perspective than my own, and a really positive one at that. It was nice to view cities through your lense. Although, particularly as a woman, I could not relate to the walking around cities late at night part

Thank you so much. I was doubting whether RU-vid is notifying my long time subscribers. Since I've not been active. Yeah, you make a great point about the perception being different based on your gender among other things. Although I would say, most of my positive perception of cities come from South East Asian cities like Hong Kong, Bangkok, Shanghai etc. And these are cities are incredibly safe for walking around at any time, even for women. I always used to see a lots of women drinking beer or meditating at the beachfront at 3 am. But sadly the same cannot be said about so many other cities around the world.

Incredible film Sudha. Your work really is transformative. Often when I cannot sleep, I will go out and walk or drive the streets till sunrise. It is a way to reset myself, to connect with myself in quite solitude and then start a new chapter as the sun rises and the city comes to life. I hope you are well, regards from the sleepy streets of Melbourne.

Beautiful. Always wanted to do a road trip in Australia. Thank you for your comment.
