'Aarhus Stories' is the result of an untraditional partnership between film directors and song writers. The song writers' songs replace the traditional manuscript and challenge the director in an entirely new way. The films have all been shot in Aarhus in 24 hours, and they all last three to ten minutes. With the song 'In the Neighbourhood' Josh Rouse has written the soundtrack of Aarhus Festival 2010. In the hands of Swedish director Robin Färdig it has developed into a film about neighbourliness and child like excitement.
