Seven cinematic views of Barcelona

"City Symphonies" is a new wide-ranging audiovisual project by the CCCB that aims to view and analyse urban space through the personal itineraries of different filmmakers, creating a collection of audiovisual pieces that bear witness to the cities of the early 21st century.
