Our Guardian Cities and Barbican City Visions film competition challenged readers around the world to make a three-minute film about their city – in any style. This week, as we look forward to the unveiling of the winners at the Guardian Cities Surprise Screening at the Barbican on 27 September, we take a look at some of the best entries. In this roundup we wander the streets of London, take a look at life in Kuala Lumpur and pick up the pace in Chicago neighbourhoods.

Kuala Lumpur
KL Siti (city)
A city of my being,bestowing fortune to those who seek,
Dreams from an ocean of EVERYONE,
Fused and melded,driving the city,
The place where promise many OPPORTUNITY,
As the city rejuvenates itself,
From its embattled past,
Now,we're taking the first step back TOGETHER,
To bring back the city's GLORY,
A glory for everyone to LIVE and DREAMS.
