Abstract: 'How does a global financial crisis permeate the spaces of the everyday in a city?' This seems a precise question. But it is one that nevertheless needs analytical exploration in time and space as well as redefinitions both of the crisis and of land, labour and the city. The question is posed by the research group 'crisis-scape' in a brief statement about their film, 'Future Suspended: from the Olympic spectacle to the dawn of the authoritarian-financial spectacle'. That characterisation is a touching-off point for explorations (in space and time) and for examination of aspects of the film and associated research. They are set out here on the basis of a presentation at their Athens Conference, of their film-super-2, one 'classic' film, 'Ulysses' Gaze' by Theo Angelopoulos, and of related work in this journal, as contributions to the development of an appropriate praxis, through some preliminary answers to the question: What is to be done?
