Copenhagen Architecture Biennial has invited Kate Orff, landscape architect, founder of SCAPE, Director of the Urban Design Program at Columbia University and OBEL Award winner of 2023, to select a favourite film for this edition of the biennial. Orff will be in conversation with the film’s director, Kira Akerman.

Hollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in their sinking homeland of Louisiana, USA. For the first time, they notice the Mississippi River's engineering, stumps of cypress trees, and billowing smokestacks.

Their different perspectives — as Indigenous, white, and Angolan young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.

A film by Kira Akerman,

Year: 2022

Length: 74 min.

Language: English, Introduction in English.

Copenhagen Architecture Biennial har inviteret Kate Orff – landskabsarkitekt, grundlægger af SCAPE, leder af Urban Design-programmet ved Columbia University og modtager af OBEL Award i 2023 – til at udvælge en favoritfilm til denne udgave af biennalen. Orff vil være i samtale med filmens instruktør, Kira Akerman.

Hollow Tree følger tre teenagere, der vokser op i deres synkende hjemstavn Louisiana, USA. For første gang lægger de mærke til Mississippi-flodens ingeniørarbejde, stubbe af cyprestræer og rygende fabriksstakke.

Deres forskellige perspektiver – som indfødt, hvid og angolansk-amerikansk – former deres fortælling om klimakrisen.

En film af Kira Akerman, År: 2022, Varighed: 74 min. Sprog: Engelsk, introduktion på engelsk.
