Architecting after Politics, DE 2018, 90:00 min, original version with German subtitles, D: brandlhuber+ & Christopher Roth

Legislating Architecture describes a model of thought and action that engages with the rules and laws of architecture. Architecture is understood as the built environment and as a social arena.

Architecting after Politics is the third film in a series that has been produced since 2016 in a cooperation between Brandlhuber+ and director Christopher Roth. The latest film continues where the films Legislating Architecture and The Property Drama left off, and poses a crucial question for our time: Who architects? (Who builds and shapes the world?)

Vienna premiere!
followed by Q&A with Olaf Grawert, brandlhuber+

Off Season, SK 2018, 35:00 min, original version with English subtitles, D: Andrea Kalinova

The Machnáč sanatorium in the spa town of Trenčianske Teplice is only the ruin of a modernist utopia today. The owners have no interest in preserving a building that does not pay for itself. The film is dedicated to the phenomenon of this extraordinary building through portraits of different people who have not given up in their endeavours to save Machnáč.
