Architektur.Film.Sommer 2022

For its 10th season, the Architektur.Film.Sommer international open-air architecture film festival presents documentaries, short films, experimental films and animations under the title Decolonizing Architecture — Historical Entanglements and Contested Spaces in Architecture.

To what extent has architecture been complicit over the centuries in the exercise of colonial power, and what has the spatial and social impact been? Where can colonial practices and mechanisms be observed today? What are the materials and processes needed to decolonise architecture and the building sector? And what about institutions, such as museums or universities? In short, is a decolonial turn needed in architecture? The open-air festival invites film and architecture enthusiasts to linger and exchange ideas.
