An urban story can be any film in which the city is a defining presence – in
which characters’ lives are defined by existence within the urban
environment. The words “power”, “poverty” and “conflict” all appear in the title
of this option.
Here are some thematic suggestions:
- films focusing on the struggle within communites
- films focusing on the struggle between a community and the ruling power
structures
- films concerned with with ‘living with crime’ (extending the FM2
British Cinema option)
- films dealing with alienation produced by technology and social
organisation, including films set in the future
The films may also be linked by stylistic approach:
- films working from a neo-realist / documentary aesthetic
- films working with new wave / experimental techniques
- films based on genre cinema (for example, melodrama or comedy)
