'When We Live Alone' and 'Where We Grow Older' with a Presentation on Urban Visions for the Future by the directors Daniel Schwartz and Giovanna Borasi

Join us for an evening focusing on two major future visions: cities without loneliness and urban spaces that better support the needs of an aging population.

A damp cloth glides over a shiny plastic surface at a Japanese capsule hotel in central Tokyo. Nothing is personal, nothing is unique, nothing is superfluous. Is this the home of the future? Is it even a home? And how can architecture strengthen social relationships in a world where more and more people choose to live alone? This event focuses on two significant future visions: Cities without loneliness and urban spaces that better support the needs of an ageing population.

Meet directors Daniel Schwartz and Giovanna Borasi as we raise the discussion about future living arrangements, the relationship between private and public spaces in future megacities, and how we can address the challenge of more elderly people and senior housing in the future with the films When We Live Alone and When We Grow Older.

ENTRANCE FEE: 110 kr. / 75 kr. for members of CAFx Community and Cinemateket. Send us an email to receive the discount code!

WHO SPEAKS FOR THE FUTURE? Architecture of intergenerational Democracy
Democracy has long relied on a quiet assumption: that decisions can be revisited, corrected, undone. That it will, eventually, be someone else’s turn. But what happens when decisions no longer remain reversible?
