North American premiere!
Waves crash against the concrete shell of the building. Water seeps in, pooling on the floor in front of the centuries-old wooden ships. Architects call the building a Brutalist masterpiece, politicians label it a culturally elitist monument, and in 2018, the Minister of Culture delisted the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde. Which stories do we choose to immortalize in stone? How do we distinguish between what is worth preserving and what is not? And is it out of respect for history, or is there a deeper impulse at play when we preserve; a need to anchor our fleeting existence in something more enduring? Gain a deeper understanding of how and why we preserve for the future with Hans Christian Post’s new film, The Hall.
Plays with What can architecture do?
