Timo Novotny labels his new project an experimental music documentary film, in a remix of the celebrated film Megacities (1997), a visually refined essay on the hidden faces of several world "megacities" by leading Austrian documentarist Michael Glawogger. Novotny complements 30 % of material taken straight from the film (and re-edited) with 70 % as yet unseen footage in which he blends original shots unused by Glawogger with his own sequences (shot by Megacities cameraman Wolfgang Thaler) from Tokyo. Alongside the Japanese metropolis, Life in Loops takes us right into the atmosphere of Mexico City, New York, Moscow and Bombay. This electrifying combination of fascinating film images and an equally compelling soundtrack from Sofa Surfers sets us off on a stunning audiovisual adventure across the continents. The film also makes an original contribution to the discussion on new trends in documentary filmmaking.
I just saw this without subtitles, so I could only understand the New York and Mexico parts.
I really want to see the rest but don't know how

brilliant. That was so great. I used to be down in the city closest to me, philadelphia every single day, in the worst part, the badlands or 'dope city'. At least in the beginning I always had mad money and i guess it was pretty obvious. i would literally get off the subway and walk about two and a half blocks and get stopped by at least 3 people begging for money. i got to know one guy and gave him a dollar or two a few times a week and bought him pizza countless times.
