Institute of British Architect Silver Medal. Factory Fifteen won 2 architectural 3D awards including ’Best Architectural 3d Film’ (Golden Age)
and ’Best Architectural 3D Image’ (Megalomania). Their artwork has also been seen in many of the world’s leading Architecture, design and
3D books, magazines and blogs, including Stash Mag, 3D World, 3D Artist, Dezeen, Creative Web and Evolo.
Noah is a story set in the fishing town of Zanzibar of a changing man in a changing town. Aggressive tourism sparked through Jonah’s
discovery of the world biggest fish has caused the town and himself to change beyond recognition. The town is now a glowing, tacky, money
making, wildly opportunistic beach town, which has abandoned its original fishing roots. As an old man Jonah is ashamed of what his old
fishing town has become and decides to hunt down the legendary fish and kill it, killing what it represents.
Jonah is being made in partnership with Film4, BFI, Channel4, Shine Films.

Eric Bednarski
- Warsaw writer, director, and producer. He graduated from the faculty of history at York University in Toronto in 2001
then studied directing at the European Film College in Denmark.
Since 2003, he has worked with the National Film Board of Canada and TVP, for which he realized documentaries.
MDM explores the relationship between architecture and ideology by focusing on one Warsaw neighbourhood. The Marszalkowska Hou-
sing District was one of the first and most famous of Poland’s 1950s Socialist-Realist housing developments. Conceived on a monumental
scale as a model of socialist planning and an architectural showpiece for the new Soviet-backed Communist regime, it rose up from the ruins
of a city almost completely destroyed in World War II.
Architects, planners and urban and cultural historians evoke the controversies surrounding MDM’s conception and construction. They examine
the changing meanings that have attached to it over the years, and its place in the Warsaw of today.

ArchFilmLund The famous Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein called architecture “film’s undoubted
ancestor”. Since the invention of cinema, the moving image has offered film audiences new ways of
experiencing spaces and places. By approaching architectural space through different angles and framings,
using close-ups of details as well as panoramic views, the film camera makes it possible to see already
familiar buildings in new ways. In addition, the film medium can function as a form of armchair travel,
allowing our eyes and minds to visit spaces inaccessible to us, not just in space but also in time. The
moving image can give us vivid experiences of architecture that no longer exists, as well as imaginary visions
of future cityscapes.
Lund International Architecture Film Festival which takes place in the autumn each year provides a platform
for exploring contemporary and historical interconnections between architecture and film, screening a wide
range of fictional and documentary films and bringing together seminars/debates, exhibitions, workshops,
lectures and other activities. Altogether these will form the framework for discussions about architecture in
fiction films as well as visions of a good and liveable built environment for the future. Special guests –
architects, filmmakers, journalists and artists from Sweden and abroad are invited to participate in seminars
on architecture in films and themes highlighted in the documentary films.

Fyra drömmar och tusen rivningar
är en poetisk, 28 minuter lång, dokumentär om några av eldsjälarna bakom lyckade
räddningar av rivningshotade stationshus. Genom filmen vill vi uppmärksamma de pågående, oåterkalleliga rivningar som sker över hela
landet.
Den svenska regeringen har gett uppdrag till Trafikverket att avveckla tusentals gamla stations- och järnvägsbyggnader som inte längre behövs och inför utbyggnad av nya spår.
Vem är vi utan vår historia?
Filmen Fyra drömmar och tusen rivningar av Peggy Eklöf och Elzbieta Jasinska Brunnberg är en poetisk dokumentär om några av eldsjälarna
bakom lyckade räddningar och restaureringar av rivningshotade stationshus.
Vi möter Monica och Ulf som arbetar på att göra café och kulturhus av stationen i Jörlanda, Anja och Rikard som i småländska Ormaryd varsamt renoverar sitt stationshus. 18-årige Emil drömmer om att få ta hand om en banvaktsstuga, medan Ewald har låtit flytta en banvaktsstuga till Öland där den ligger som idylliskt sommarhus. Vi åker också ångtåg på Österlen, där föreningen Skånska Järnvägar bevarat ett vackert
gammalt stationshus på sträckan Brösarp-S:t Olof.
Genom filmen vill vi uppmärksamma de pågående oåterkalleliga rivningar som sker över hela landet och samtidigt uppmuntra fler svenskar
att rädda de få gamla stationshus som finns kvar, innan sista rivningen är utverkad.
Fyra drömmar och tusen rivningar är filmad av Peggy Eklöf, 29 media, regisserad av Elzbieta Jasinska Brunnberg, Art Film Factory. Filmen har
ett specialskrivet diktverk av författaren Åsa Maria Kraft som läses av Lena Endre.
