Creative director of MPavilion Jen Zielinska spoke to Liam ahead of the Living Cities Film Series, which features a selection of films curated by Liam in response to the theme ‘The Long View’ titled Imagined Cities: Urban Futures Prototyped through Film. In this conversation, they discuss everything from speculative fiction and the collapsing of time to using fiction as a language and growing digital cities with Amazon bots. The Living Cities Film Series is presented in collaboration with ACMI and Open House Melbourne.
