“A Vocabulary for the Future” is an audiovisual creation project produced for the Open City Thinking Biennale. It is composed by 14 original short films, created from the dialogue between thirty filmmakers, visual artists, writers and thinkers, both local and international.

During the Biennale, there is a continous screening of the “Vocabulary” at the CCCB Hall.
