Kromme Stad

A platform for urban film and spatial research / 2025

inquiries: krommestad@gmail.com

With Kromme Stad I organise screenings in film theaters, cultural centres, and squats. The project also exists as an online archive on Instagram.

Kromme Stad collects and presents films taking place in cities across genres—from documentaries to experimental works. What began as an examination of urban inequality has evolved to confront deeper questions of power: Who shapes space, and who is excluded from it?

While grounded in urban environments, the project recognizes that spatial justice extends beyond cities. It manifests in rural landscapes, digital realms, and contested territories—anywhere power dictates who belongs. Through film curation, we examine how design, policy, and perception create (in)equity in lived space.
