the documentary
'Abandoned?' is a documentary film directed by Geppe Monrós.
It’s point of departure is the fact that the world is full of supposedly 'abandoned' places and buildings which really are not, since everything is undergoing a constant state of transformation and goes onto show the capacity of human beings to transform, conserve and reuse them.
'Abandoned?' shows, narrates and compares opinions, reflections and results of the work of different experts and people related to abandoned places and their conservation or transformation.
'Abandoned?' is also an aesthetical trip, which leads us to a positive conclusion that humans have the capacity to conserve, transform and reuse abandoned places thus reducing the pressures of urban growth on the environment as well as preserving their heritage and cultural identity.
