Movie Name: The Shortcut to the Systematic Life: City Spirits (2005)
Director: Tsui Kuang-Yu　Duration: 8 Mins.
Story: Bowling in a city street; waving a race-track chequered flag on a busy road; Tsui Kuang-Yu uses these ostensibly senseless actions in London and Taipei to explore and subvert preconceptions about cities and everyday life.

Movie Name: Miami (2002)
Director: Sarah Morris　Duration: 27 Mins.
The camera pans across Miami's car washes, hotels, supermarkets, beaches, and factories. This film presents the architecture and landscape of the city, and its sober and slow-burning visual style is accompanied by rich and rhythmic electronic music. The result is a film that uses a multi-faceted subjectivity to analyse the psychological state of the city of Miami.

Movie Name: La Town (2014)
Director: Cao Fei　Duration: 42 Mins. Category:III　Language: French(English Subtitle
La Town is a futuristic city depicted with miniature plastic models and toys at a 1:87 scale to reality. The artist Cao Fei pairs this fictitious micro-world with classic dialogue from Alain Resnais's Hiroshima Mon Amour. The result is a reimagined narrative of a city's past and non-existent future, as well as its enigmatic history across time.
