The city is a biotope, a constantly changing ecosystem. Animate and inanimate actors find a permanent or temporary habitat there. Flora and fauna meet expanding architecture, dynamic traffic flows, dense settlements and technoid landscapes. The result is a mosaic-like habitat in which living beings, machines and the environment merge into a heterogeneous ecosphere. Whether grown organically over decades or built overnight, the individual biotopes form places for diverse networks of relationships, points of friction, passages and niches.

This year's Urban Space Videowalk focuses on these biotopes, their relationships and their ecological structures. What characterizes them? Who lives in them? What are their living conditions? And what changes are they subject to? 

The event will take place in the evening at dusk at various locations in Düsseldorf. Selected by a jury of experts and the audience, the “Urban Space Film Prize” worth 1,000 euros and an audience prize of 350 euros will be awarded. The film screenings are free of charge and open to everyone (including random visitors).
