''Highrise'' is a multi-year, multimedia documentary project about life in residential highrises, directed by Katerina Cizek and produced by Gerry Flahive for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). The project, which began in 2009, includes five web documentaries—''The Thousandth Tower'', ''Out My Window'', ''One Millionth Tower'', ''A Short History of the Highrise'' and ''Universe Within: Digital Lives in the Global Highrise''—as well as more than 20 derivative projects such as public art exhibits and live performances. In March 2013, the NFB and ''The New York Times'' announced a partnership entitled ''A Short History of the Highrise'', which resulted in four short documentaries about life in highrise buildings, utilizing images from the newspaper's photo archives for the first three films, and user-submitted images for the final film. Until mid-2014, Cizek collaborated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenDocLab unit on developments for the ''Highrise'' project as part of MIT’s Visiting Artists Program. In June 2015, ''Universe Within: Digital Lives in the Global Highrise'' was launched as the final installment of ''Highrise''. In addition to awards won by individual webdocs in the series, the ''Highrise'' project received the Canadian Urban Institute's 2013 Global City and Innovation Urban Leadership Award. The total budget for ''Highrise'' was CAD$2.8 million.〔 ==''The Thousandth Tower'' (2010)== The first production in ''Highrise'' is a citizen media project by six residents in a multi-cultural highrise complex in the Toronto neighbourhood of Rexdale. Project participants were found after a year of research and interviews by a three-person production team. Residents were provided with digital cameras and a blog and met weekly with filmmakers over a six-month period for training in lighting techniques and writing. The residential complex was a test site in the City of Toronto's plan to renovate and beautify highrise residences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Highrise (documentary)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
