The film is about a woman who tries to seek help from her friend during her menstrual cycle. On her way to the doctor, she faces the challenges of a poorly planned road plan, and the poor conditions of the public transport she is taking add up to her struggles. Many conservative families are against women becoming intimate with men before marriage. The situation brings a lot of shame and struggles for women when they try to seek help from gynecologists. Also, the film addresses the challenges women face in public transport and public spaces during menstruation.

The Bridges
The bridges are an important urban element in Copenhagen, providing different ways of navigating the city. A bridge in the city is not only a connection to the waterfront, it contains a broader definition. By observing the bridges, we can see Copenhagen's diverse lifestyle and the city's inclusive culture.

Ga Opi: Lifeline for All
Ga opi: Natural springs are the lifeline of water security in most of the Himalayan region. People depend on this spring for domestic and irrigation purposes. Nowadays due to climate change and changes in land use, most of the springs are drying up. So, the preservation of such natural springs is crucial for future generations. The video demonstrates a case of how a natural spring had been functioning and how the community came together to save such a natural spring named Ga Opi at Lubhoo, Mahalaxmi municipality, Nepal.

Gjelltor-ism
This hidden place is enclosed by skyscrapers and the continuous transformations of Tirana. We had the honour of being part of Dashira’s daily routine for a week. Her Gjelltore became for us a way to explore the identity of the neighbourhood: the needs, the hopes and the preoccupations of its citizens. Her dedication to keeping this place open to serve workers, passersby and old acquaintances restores a precise sense of belonging against the fast pace of the city. Every day, tiny spontaneous gestures of care turn this small canteen into a gentle place of resistance. We learned from Dashira’s Gjelltore how to grasp the mechanism of relationships and place-making. This is a shared space, where you are able to count on a warm meal, a point of reference open seven days a week: in one word a recipe for community building. Gjelltor-ism is our method to interact with the urban environment - a new tool to trigger alternative futures for sensible city planning.
