Obsah
The course aims to explore the relationship between architecture and cinema. The relationship is reciprocal, with architecture influencing cinema through real-world architectural concepts that transit into fictional worlds, and cinema shaping public perception, experience, and design of architectural spaces. Additionally, both fields share a number of techniques like planning, sketches, models and manipulation of light and space. We will focus on this overlap specifically in animation throughout the former Eastern Bloc, where countless works engaged with the socialist-style transformation of city spaces from diverse perspectives. The goal is to examine how the prefabricated concrete housing, i.e. the model of architecture that dominated in the region between 1950 and 1990 and that radically altered the cities’ social and spatial organization as well as visual appearance, operates in the narratives of Czechoslovak, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, and Estonian animated film.
The course meets biweekly, starting on October 6th.
