Join us when the acclaimed architecture film couple Bêka & Lemoine introduce their latest film, premiering in Denmark for the first time.

'Softly Brutal' is a film shot in Khlong Toei, Bangkok's largest slum, an immense informal settlement housing over 100,000 people right in the heart of the Asian exponentially growing megacity.

Deconstructing the clichés associated with slums, such as violence, gangs and illicit trafficking, the film is a deep dive into Khlong Toei's slow daily rhythms through close observation of the living conditions, micro economies and neighbourhood relationships binding this community together. The film unfolds as a journey through countless micro-situations and life stories captured spontaneously on the narrow streets of Khlong Toei's district. It dives into the family and domestic equilibriums of this urban bubble, depicting in minute details this street maze where the boundary between private and public dissolves.

A film by Louise Lemoine & Ila Bêka

Kom med, når det anerkendte arkitekturfilm-par Bêka & Lemoine introducerer deres nyeste film, som har danmarkspremiere ved denne visning.

Softly Brutal er optaget i Khlong Toei, Bangkoks største slum – en enorm, uformel bebyggelse med over 100.000 indbyggere midt i hjertet af den eksplosivt voksende asiatiske megaby.

Filmen nedbryder de gængse klichéer forbundet med slumområder – såsom vold, bander og ulovlig handel – og dykker i stedet ned i Khlong Toei’s langsomme hverdagstempo gennem nænsom observation af levevilkår, mikroøkonomier og naboskaber, som binder dette samfund sammen. Filmen udfolder sig som en rejse gennem utallige mikrosituationer og livsfortællinger, spontant fanget i de smalle gader i Khlong Toei-distriktet. Den udforsker de familiære og hjemlige balancer i denne urbane boble og skildrer i fine detaljer denne gadelabyrint, hvor grænsen mellem det private og det offentlige opløses.
