Description

Enter through the Balcony
Roman Blazhan. Spoken in Ukrainian. Dutch subtitles. Documentary

The title \"Enter through the Balcony\" refers to how, in the Soviet era, large buildings were divided into apartments to curb the housing crisis of the post-war years. Through the eyes of owners, city officials, historians, sociologists, urban planners, developers, and architects, the film takes a look at the balcony as an appropriated personalized space. A loving tribute to how life in Ukrainian cities was and hopefully can be again.

Arquitectura Emocional 1959
León Siminiani. Spoken in Spanish. English subtitles. Fiction

Arquitectura Emocional 1959 is the love story of Sebas and Andrea, first-year students at the University of Madrid in 1958-1959. We see how social class and ideology become insurmountable obstacles and how architecture marks the dotted line that ultimately defines their emotion.

I’m Not Going To Cry
