Jem Cohen: ‘Amber City is a portrait of a city in Italy. But what city, and why is it unnamed? This project is the latest in a series of city portraits that sit in the grey area between documentary, narrative and experimental genres. The film uses voice-over narration that collages direct observation, literary texts, historical fact and local folkore.’
