The short movie 'Humansize the city' catches a glimpse of the profane experience of a person within the city frame. Even so, it refers to the spirituality hidden underneath the surface. It perceives the city inhabitant as a human being whose life consists of the performance of everyday human acts rather than the grandiosity of celebration festivals. Each human movement or gesture embodies a ritualistic nature and seeks a place to be expressed or manifested within the urban environment. The film questions how even underlooked architectural and urban spaces give meaning to a person in his everyday struggle in search of it.
