Visitors to The Irish Times Downstairs Dublin instalment on Merrion Square on Culture Night will remember – among the food, fun and frolics, yoga raves and poetry therapy – the screenings of the shortlisted video entrants in our Imagine the Future competition, in association with the Irish Architecture Foundation. The five shortlisted entries are now online, so click to watch and vote for your favourite.

Will the future be cows and balloons over the Liffey, tenement living, civic interventions or involve taking to outer space? Films by Lawless & Murray, Fergal McCarthy, NJB Architects, Ciara Reynolds and Zoltán Kováry. The winner will be announced at Open House Dublin on October 17th. Vote at irishtimes.com/futuredublin
