Wessen Stadt?

Hans Christian Post, 2017

A documentary, which takes us on a meditative journey through and beyond the architectural disputes of post-unification Berlin. From the Potsdamer Platz in the West of the city to the Alexanderplatz in the East, and from the male dominated conservative urban planning of the 1990s to today's more gender balanced and open-minded planning culture. The film poses questions with relevance for all cities that like Berlin have a ruptured history: How can a new identity be developed and prosperity be pursued without this happening at the cost of existing identities and needs, and what could the role of city planning be in this connection? Can the city in the globalized remain a city for all or is it doomed to become ever more exclusive?

Huse

Helge Ernst, 1967

The film seeks to trace how modern architects construct the Danish living environment in historical continuation of national building traditions, shaped by the country's climate and locally available materials. The film does not view architecture as buildings by individual architects, but describes the houses, factories, schools, the airport, villas and summerhouses as the frame in which daily life takes place.

Laurine og Nørrebro

Lise Roos, 1984

About the development in the part of Copenhagen called 'Den sorte firkant' in Nørrebro. What happened when the ramparts fell and what lay beyond them became overbuilt areas? For a year, the film crew followed today's way of handling a whole quarter with slum clearance and that redevelopment referred to at the town hall as the 'Overall Plan' through the eyes of Laurine, Denmark's oldest squatter.

Cathedrals of Culture: The Oslo Opera House

Margreth Olin, 2014

In 2008, an elegant new neighbor designed by Snøhetta architects settled along Oslo's struggling waterfront in the center of the city. The Oslo Opera House, home to the Norwegian Opera and Ballet, now rises from the fjord, coaxing visitors to its seemingly endless marble roof and to its graceful interior. The building's breathtaking design blurs the spatial divisions between inside and outside offering a unique blend of relaxation, recreation, and high culture.

Alle os og siloen

Carina Randløv, 2026

On the harbour of the small town of Stubbekøbing on the island of Falster in Denmark, stands an abandoned grain silo that has divided the town for years. Some see an ugly relic of the past; others see possibilities for the future. When a group of artists and cultural entrepreneurs propose transforming the silo into a cultural and artistic landmark rather than tearing it down, a debate emerges about competing dreams for the town's future - and about what art really is, and who it is for.
