LUND INTERNATIONAL
ARCHITECTURE
FILM FESTIVAL
OCTOBER 11th-14th 2018
Om oss / Who we are
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.
Lund International Architecture Film Festival which takes place in the autumn each year provides 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: the film screenings, workshops and debates events in cooperation with others. Contact us with an idea or an inquiry via mail: info@archfilmlund.se

Filmproducer/Coordinator
I'm a filmmaker living in Lund, working mostly with documentary and art films. Living with an architect I spend part of my holidays looking at buildings and urban spaces so I came to appreciate that. I'm especially fascinated by the abandoned places that speaks to us through their history.
