City of Light
Joséphine Privat / Frankrig / 2025 / International Premiere / 15 min
The earth beneath Paris is a twilight world of fungi, data centers, and secret communities that meet in silence beneath the city. An underground network of connections is mapped out in a dark film.
Deep beneath Paris, a network of connections opens up. Here we encounter a dark world of fungal spores, data centers, and secret communities that silently explore the tunnels in stark contrast with the cosmopolitan ‘City of Lights’ above ground. Joséphine Privat’s film explores and maps the material conditions of the urban world we know. A parallel and almost cosmic universe submerged in eternal darkness.
