CAFx Åbningsgalla: Danmarkspremiere på sci-fi satiren 'Arkitekten' med instruktørbesøg, talkshow og drinks

Satirisk miniserie vist på Berlinalen i 2023 om arkitekten Julie, der må bo i en parkeringskælder i et Fagre Nye Verden-agtigt Oslo i en nær fremtid. CAFx serverer drinks og skåler på 10 års jubilæet!

Still from 'Arkitekten'

(DA) I 2023 skydes festivalen og årets tema ‘Livsform’ i gang med Danmarkspremieren på den unge danske instruktør Kerren Lumer-Klabbers nye sci-fi miniserie 'Arkitekten', der havde verdenspremiere på Berlinalen i februar 2023.

‘Arkitekten’ handler om den 30-årige arkitekt Julie (spilles af Eili Harboe fra Joachim Triers film 'Thelma'), der må tage til takke med at brygge kaffe på tegnestuen, hvor hun er fuldtidspraktikant, mens hendes ekskæreste bæres frem som starchitecturens kronprins. Midt i en astronomisk boligboble må hun finde sig tilrette i et aflukke i en parkeringskælder, som hun pludselig får til opgave at transformere til 1000 boliger, da biler er blevet overflødige. En behovsbaseret, bæredygtig løsning, der ovenikøbet sparer ressourcer. Konteksten er et Fagre Nye Verden-agtigt Oslo i en nær fremtid, hvor boligkrisen kradser, biler er bandlyst og bankrådgivere er erstattet af chat gbt stemmer.

Visningen af sci-fi satiredramaet danner ramme om et live talkshow og Q&A om boligkrise, tiny housing-tendenser, privatisering af det offentlige rum, mansplainining og arbejdsforhold i arkitektverdenen. Aftenens gæster er instruktøren Kerren Lumer-Klabbers, sociolog og ph.d. i compact living Anne Hedegaard Winther, urbanismeforsker Kristine Samson og Asal Mohtashami, arkitekt og byudvikler ved tegnestuen AIM og aktiv i netværket Building Diversity.

Herefter serverer vi drinks på den røde løber uden for biografen.

Særligt tak til Lautrup Vine, Østerberg, Bülow Lakrids, Viaplay og Mikropolis.

(EN) Julie lives in a car-free Oslo in the near future. The housing market is completely off the rails and Julie can't get a mortgage. When her rent increases, she must find another place to stay. The solution is a housing community in a parking garage. Julie dreams of an architectural career so she can buy an apartment. One day an opportunity for success presents itself at work. At the same time, an unexpected friendship sprouts between Julie and her new neighbor Kaja. A friendship which threatens both her career and Julie's conviction that close relationships count less than materialistic goods.

The inner city of the future is an expensive, alienating and empty place - except for the living mannequins and shop assistants who, even in ostensibly public spaces, bully those who linger into buying things. Julie is an architect. She is lucky because she is working for a renowned architectural practice, even if only as a coffee-making intern. When a large project to build a thousand flats in the centre of Oslo is put out to tender, she has an idea: why not convert the underground car parks that are empty in the car-free city centre into residential buildings? A needs-based, sustainable solution that would conserve resources. Average rents have long since become unaffordable for most working people, anyway. Naturally, there are no windows in these flats, but that is actually an advantage given the high price of glass. Besides, in Berlin, one hears, more people already live underground than above. 

This debut series from screenwriting duo Nora Landsrød and Kristian Kilde and director Kerren Lumer-Klabbers is a clear-sighted and pitch-black satire about an all-too-near future, somewhere between 'Brave New World' and 'The World of Interiors'.

After the screening we will serve drinks on the red carpet outside the cinema.

Special thanks to Laudrup Vine, Østerberg, Bülow Lakrids, Viaplay and Mikropolis.

Join us for a day of workshops and talks with local and international speakers - exploring how practices of making can be part of policy-making-processes and asking how citizens’ assemblies can act as democratic rupture that gives meaning to agencies otherwise overheard and shift attention from discursive to material and spatial practices?
