Women are, indisputably, affected by feeling unsafe in public spaces after dark. They change the way they act, move and live. Concrete-heavy, badly illuminated spaces, like bridges or tunnels create a nightmare scenery and exclude women, as well queer, trans and non-binary people from safely walking through them. The film LIGHTS immerse us into women's discriminatory reality, their vulnerabilities and desperate reactions in the dark. And investigates what can architects or urban planners do to help inclusive transformation of public spaces? How can designers ease omnipresent fear of experiencing sexual violence?

Architecture often represents the daily life and characteristics of it's inhabitants.

The streets of Baku used to be full of kids and young people filling them with joy and now we are reclaiming the streets for the use of different human activities! The film is mostly shot in the central streets of Baku where roads are very narrow and cars are allowed to park and commute. Sidewalks are insanely narrow and interrupted by many parked cars and artificial plants. The street design makes it very hard to walk and pass by.
