Citytellers is a docu-fiction series on self-organization phenomena in the hyper-cities Sao Paulo (Brazil, 2006), Aral (Kazachstan, 2008) and Dubai (United Emirates. 2009). The Citytellers cycle enables viewers to grasp a critically distant, and often unknown, reality. The camera’s objective gaze penetrates every interstice in the urban, natural and human landscape, adopting a strongly descriptive accent – from the phenomenon of self-organization in Sao Paulo, the collapsing eco-systems around the Aral lake to the constant paradox of Dubai where a paradise of luxury and wealth hides a dark side of inhuman poverty and exploitation.
