When a private police foundation in Atlanta tries to raze an urban forest to build the country’s largest police training facility, a diverse, decentralized, and intersectional movement defends the forest from what they call “Cop City.” A City in the Forest paints a collective portrait of the country’s most urgent social justice story, where a web of activists fight back against environmental racism, political corruption, police violence, and the criminalization of dissent.
In the mist in which existence lies, memories crystalize from past moments lived. Might be altered, might become in part fiction, but no less real. A moment that goes beyond the perceptible reality. As if the encoding of light and sound by the mind has warped into a fluid form of existence. A static state of constant movement. A ride into the fading waves of remembrance, where falcons of the inner eye murmur above a sea of silver-like memories.
A filmic preservation of a highway. A scan of the asphalt, emulsion to emulsion, strip to strip, pebbles to pixels, kilometers per hour to frames per second. Also a film about film, with a variable speed reflecting the rhythm of traffic, set to the sound of speed and friction.

For humans, change, mutation, is part of the very process of life, from birth to death. But for some living beings, change is far more radical. Tadpoles transform into frogs, caterpillars into butterflies, and these aren't even among the most radical changes possible in nature.
