Clean Cities

(Documentary – 1h1m – 2021)

Who cleans the world’s cities? Why are the majority of them women and immigrants? The well-traveled performance “Clean City” at the Onassis Cultural Center becomes the occasion for a hybrid film. Four different filmmakers follow the show’s tour to as many cities: Skopje, Sarajevo, Montpellier, Istanbul. Migrant cleaners, protagonists of the show and not, narrate their lives, talk about the racism of the “clean”, the danger of fascism, female migration and sexual abuse. A modular film on the borders of documentary and fiction, starting from the filmed theatrical performance by Anestis Aza and Prodromos Tsinikori.
