Fantoomwijk
The bespoken neighborhood was demolished to make way for luxury housing, forcing residents to leave their homes. By using different styles of filming like infrared and drone shots, the viewer keeps shifting between opposite perspectives – between the system and those affected by it. A gripping short film about the human cost of urban development, representing the global issue of gentrification in big cities.
