• Out of the Slow Food movement has grown something called the Slow Cities movement, which has started in Italy but has spread right across Europe and beyond.

• She missed the built environment of New York City. It was only in an urban landscape, amid straight lines and architecture, that she could situate herself in human time and history.

• Llevo muchos años haciendo películas en 16 mm sobre paisajes urbanos de San Francisco. Elijo diferentes temas de no ficción para investigar y, por lo general, me interesa sacar a la luz historias menos conocidas. Me gusta investigar e iluminar estas historias, combinándolas con mi propio estilo narrativo poco convencional, que suele ser una voz en off de flujo de conciencia que implica un flujo constante de reflexiones personales sobre suspirar por mujeres no disponibles.
