Comfortable Century

Pohodlné století

Directing: Jaroslav Kratochvíl

Synopsis

Presenting history of the 20th century, Comfortable century is a narrative from the point of view of a unique set of Pilsner interiors. Designed by Adolf Loos, these flats witnessed both ordinary episodes from their residents‘ private lives and significant milestones of our modern history, having had impact on Adolf Loos himself as well as on global architecture development. The film uses current language inspired by the documentary tradition, connecting it with visual art procedures to create a compact aggregate of our history. Using video mapping technique, freshly recalled memories from temporary shots are getting back to their original places, installing in the flats and openings here and there.
