Films at CAFX
… which means Copenhagen Architecture Festival that includes a lot of interesting documentary films, two of them can be seen at the art house cinema Grand Teatret in the centre of the Danish capital.
Both have been reviewed on this site. Thomas Riedelsheimer’s “Leaning into the Wind” with fantastic landscape artist Andy Goldsworthy was at the Magnificent7 festival 2018 in Belgrade, where Svetlana and Zoran Popovic presented the film as “Riedelsheimer’s sophisticated filmmaking proceeds from breathtaking physical matter and goes beyond trying to reveal the ideas that move the artists. And before our very eyes these ideas are transformed into remarkable forms pervaded by the rhythms of nature.” http://www.filmkommentaren.dk/blog/blogpost/4266/
And staying in Belgrade I reviewed Nicolas Wagniere’s “Hotel Jugoslavia”, a quote “…Wagnières says that he during a decade has come back to the city and the hotel and that he has filmed “pour garder and pour regarder”. He conveys his point of view very much through his personal voice off – one of the best sequences is the interview with the mother, who remembers how people stood together after the ww2, eager to build a new society of unity and brotherhood, values that are no longer part of the Serbian society. Wonderful propaganda footage…” http://www.filmkommentaren.dk/blog/blogpost/4301/
The festival has an amazing program to offer, it runs until the 14th of April.
