Interested in how architecture and film shape our sense of belonging? Then join us for the
Premiere of short 3min films produced during the past week from participants at the Architecture at the Edge Festival film + architecture workshop, 2024.
Architecture at the Edge and Copenhagen Architecture Festival, CAFx partnered up to organize a film & architecture workshop focusing on creative filmmaking and the relationships between negotiation, conviviality, and the impact of sites on personal experience. This is the result!
A series of 3min film shorts made in and about Galway City.
During the one-week program led by Sabrina Morreale + Lorenzo Perri, Lemonot studio with Sofie Stilling, from the Royal Danish Academy, we explored Galway’s Public Archipelago (Islands). Participants were introduced to practices of investigative observation, archival research, and new ways of documenting and mapping the city - interrogating issues of land ownership, environmental, ecological and physical qualities of the landscape as well considering the human interactions, the convivial strategies of resistance created by citizens, and applied this knowledge to create their own short films documenting or addressing design solutions found in the built, grown and/or planned environment of Galway city.
