Archfilmlund

The famous Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein called architecture “film’s undoubted ancestor”. Since the invention of cinema, the moving image has offered film audiences new ways of experiencing spaces and places. By approaching architectural space through different angles and framings, using close-ups of details as well as panoramic views, the film camera makes it possible to see already familiar buildings in new ways. In addition, the film medium can function as a form of armchair travel, allowing our eyes and minds to visit spaces inaccessible to us, not just in space but also in time. The moving image can give us vivid experiences of architecture that no longer exists, as well as imaginary visions of future cityscapes.

Grounded in 2009 by Elzbieta Jasinska Brunnberg the Lund International Architecture Film Festival takes place in the autumn providing a platform for exploring contemporary and historical interconnections between architecture and film, screening a wide range of fictional and documentary films and bringing together seminars/debates, exhibitions, workshops, lectures and other activities. Altogether these will form the framework for discussions about architecture in fiction films as well as visions of a good and liveable built environment for the future. Special guests – architects, filmmakers, journalists and artists from Sweden and abroad are invited to participate in seminars on architecture in films and themes highlighted in the documentary films.

ArchFilmLund even offers Extras: film screenings, workshops and debates events in cooperation with others. Contact us with an idea or an inquiry via mail: info@archfilmlund.se
The City of Lund offers unique opportunities with its location in the centre of the dynamic Öresund Region, its rich cultural and historical heritage together with a diversity of research institutions connected to Scandinavia’s largest university as well as international well-known companies and successful local businesses.

Board

Karin Fagerberg is an architect and urban designer at FOJAB. She is a lover of film as the ultimate media being a visual, epic and a sonory experience. Film can be a driver of change by conveying sheer facts as well as emotions. Archfilm can be a part of the debate about architecture and urbanism as well as being inspirational.

Olivier Gras

ArchfilmLund Club, Website

Architect, educated in France and practicing in Sweden since 2004, I came to cinema by making hand drawn animations. Enabling the communication of spatial experiences the cinema is, I believe, the best medium for presenting both architectural visions and built environments.

Jenny Fröslee Jonsson

Jenny.FrosleeJonsson@pe.se

Jenny is an architect educated in Copenhagen, living in Lund and a cineaste from an early age.

Film is a way to see and explore through the eyes of others, not least the architectural space – which is one of the dimensions of the film medium.

Perhaps film is the art form that understands architecture best?

The film festival is therefore an important platform for this meeting and the discussion based on the human experience of the built environment.
