In the new city, global capital inspires vertical power centers while below, the populace is contained using social control technologies. Such is the vision expressed in Fred Johnson's Hybrid City (1992, 30 mins), a look at the new spatial order. Los Angeles and London illustrate the tendency toward the "walled" city in which power is consolidated within enclosed space. Architecture serves to exclude and, as urban planner Edward Soja says, "police substitute for polis." Architects, geographers, and housing advocates discuss the cosmopolis where commerce disengages from community. The result of this disengagement is at the heart of another compelling documentary, Inside Life Outside (1988, 57 mins) by Sachiko Hamada and Scott Sinkler. It intimately observes the inhabitants of a New York shantytown built upon the rubble of an abandoned lot. But to call these people "homeless" is a misnomer: after two and a half years, this is their home. What unfolds is a passionate drama of the forsaken Other. Marginalized by their economic status, these people have been abandoned by the supportive structure of society. Yet the desires of that same society still dwell within their hearts. Inside Life Outside shows us people desperately trying to move-beyond the contradictions. The program begins with the short Ghosts Along the Freeway (Christine Craton/Tim Schwab, 1992, 10 mins), a poignant reminder of what is lost when development changes the fabric of a community.-Steve Seid
