Rare Polanski Doc Restored for Cannes
Project of the Day: Is Detroit the City of Tomorrow?
In the meantime: Is this a movie you’d want to see? Tell us in the comments.
"Detroit, je t'aime"
Tweetable Logline:
DIY, urban farming, community: the city of tomorrow is #Detroit. kck.st/KNyKzg #collcons #transmedia #documentary @detroitjetaime
Elevator Pitch:
DETROIT JE T'AIME is an interactive documentary on Detroit's DIY culture, featuring inspiring stories & cool tips for you to create your own projects. Today the Motor City, formerly known for its assembly line, is building a new collaborative economy thanks to its unique DIY spirit. DETROIT JE T'AIME tells three interwoven stories about community-building in the post-industrial era; it follows a group of female bike mechanics, an urban farmer and an activist hacker, each of whom are making Detroit into a sustainable city through small-scale DIY projects.
Production Team:
Director/Producer: Fulbright scholar and Berlin Talent Campus member Nora Mandray
About the Production:
"In our current economic crisis, there’s no better place to look to than Detroit. In response to the declining auto industry, Detroiters have created a self-sufficient culture based on DIY principles and social justice. Detroit Je T'aime is an interactive documentary created to introduce this culture to a broader audience. With interactive features like a “DIY Toolbox," viewers will learn to save money through projects like fixing bicycles or growing food in a community garden. For Detroit, the crisis has been an opportunity to redefine its values, we hope our documentary will empower others to do the same." -- Nora Mandray
Current Status:
In production.

I disagree with the spam email above, but think this would be an amazing project to see. As someone who grew up in Michigan, it would be refreshing to see a take on the Motor City devoid of ruin porn and longing for a fifties that never really existed.
