A Cinematic Journey Through Architecture and Design
This February 14th, let’s celebrate more than just love—let’s honor our passion for the creative forces that shape our world: film, architecture, and design.
At LIVING BERLIN we will feature a curated selection of outstanding international short films that explore design, architecture, and the profound questions of home.
Between February 14 - 22 we invite you to step into a space where cinema meets creativity, and together, let’s discover how architecture and design influence the way we see and experience the world around us.
Architecture shapes not just the physical spaces we inhabit, but also the way we experience the world around us. It is the framework within which our lives unfold, influencing how we feel, move, and interact with our environment.
From February 14–22, perfectly in time for the Berlinale, we open our doors to Living Frames for you! An immersive showcase we have created in collaboration with fantastic partners, delving into the delicate and profound relationship between architecture, design, and the human body.
In four thoughtfully curated spaces, we invite you to step into a world where film reveals new perspectives on our built environment. In collaboration with NOWNESS, Architectuul, Achtung Berlin Film Festival, and the Silver Frame Festival, we will be showcasing short films that uncover hidden stories.
The Berlin-based author and artist Thomas Platt reframes the films through his collages—poetic observations of the city that bring the urban landscape directly into the space.
Architects in Love – A Passion for Spaces
In collaboration with Architectuul, this curation is a journey into the heart of Berlin's architecture, not through perfection, but through the stories these buildings tell. Four architects take us on a personal exploration of their favorite spaces, highlighting unsung icons where architecture is less about grandeur and more about life itself.
Perspectives – Spaces as Sensation
In this room, we invite you to explore new ways of experiencing architecture and design. Curated in partnership with the Silverframe Festival, these films challenge the conventions of our built world, offering fresh and innovative perspectives.
In partnership with Achtung Berlin, we explore films that delve into memory, identity, and the ever-evolving urban landscape. Through Berlin’s architecture, these films reflect on impermanence, belonging, and self-determination, capturing the fluidity of time and the tension between the past and present.
Don’t miss Achtung Berlin—a fantastic festival running from April 2–9!
Architecture & Design as Poetry
In partnership with NOWNESS, this exhibition transforms architecture and design into poetry. NOWNESS has long been a platform that celebrates the beauty of the everyday, inspiring us with unique stories in art, design, fashion, and more. Together, we bring you a selection of award-winning films that celebrate the profound emotional connection between architecture and design.
After transforming Living Berlin into our festival center last year, we’re thrilled to return and bring this incredible space to life once again. Join us for an inspiring journey through the worlds of architecture, design, and film. Let’s celebrate the spaces that shape us, and the stories that live within them.
