NATIONAL ARCHITECTURE STUDENT CONGRESS 2011: ARCHITECTS COLLECTIVE

FILM FESTIVAL
Programme: Monday 19 September 19:00 Gathering in the central foyer. Snacks and drinks are served. 19:15 Welcome address and introduction to the Moving Space films. 19:30 First film screening. 20:30 Interval. 20:40 Second film screening. Venue 1 Moving Space student competition films Venue 2 The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An urban history Venue 3 - Vincent Scully: An Art Historian among Architects Sustainable architecture understands that architecture exists within complex environments and that in order to be sustainable it needs to take cognisance of the surroundings. With that in mind we have selected the films for the screening around the subtheme of Architecture, Culture and Society. The Moving Space Student films address the future of our cities and explore the possibilities and opportunities for our urban centres as well as those elements that may be threatening them. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth film looks back at the iconic buildings that were seen to herald the failure of modernism and questions the assumptions that architecture was to blame. This film emphasizes the need to look at architecture within a broader socio-economic environment. And lastly, Vincent Scully reminds to not forget our own history and heritage and to be inspired by those who went before us. After all, what is more sustainable than learning from the architects of previous millennia?

Films: Moving Space Student Films 40-50 minutes The Commandeer Directed by Kebapetse Ngakantsi This is a short film about how Johannesburg will look like in the future with many buildings being hijacked by drug lords, brothels, and thugs and turned into shelters for homeless people. City from Another Time Directed by Darren Laiben In the future, nothing is as it seemed it should be... The Fall of Jozi Directed by Mthokozisi Lembethe Its a poetic film about historical landmarks in Johannesburg and how they can be affected by Acid mine drainage.

Umbrellaman Directed by Andre Krige, Darius Coertse, Eric Ouko, John du Preez, Rohann Wessels and Victor Salzmann. The UMBRELLAMAN video portrays the rituals of an Average Joe, who sets out on a quest of mundane proportion. Potjiekos Directed by Stephen Hitchcock Potjiekos is a film that zooms into the mundane act of mixing a batch of concrete while challenging every concept of space and perception of boundaries that the inhabitants of the Concrete Mixer have thought to be set in stone. As their worlds slowly spins out of control they are forced to adapt to a new way of life and interact with strange people and weird objects that are falling from the sky in order to survive.

The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: An urban history Directed by Chad Freidrichs 53 minutes 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7RwwkNzF68 The Pruitt-Igoe Myth tells the story of the wholesale changes that took place in the American city in the decades after World War II, through the lens of the infamous Pruitt-Igoe housing development in St. Louis. At the films historical centre is an analysis of the massive impact of the 1949 Housing Act, which built Pruitt-Igoe and other high-rise public housing of the Fifties and Sixties. This critical piece of legislation also initiated the so-called urban renewal program and prompted the process of mass suburbanization, which emptied American cities of their residents, business and industry. Those that were left behind faced a destitute, rapidly de-industrializing St. Louis, parcelled out to downtown interests and increasingly segregated by class and race. The residents of Pruitt-Igoe were among the hardesthit. Their gripping stories of survival, adaptation and success are at the emotional heart of the film. The domestic turmoil wrought by punitive public welfare policies, the frustrating interactions with a paternalistic and cash-strapped Housing Authority, and the downward spiral of vacancy, vandalism and crime, led to resident protest and action during the 1969 Rent Strike, the first in the history of public housing. The Pruitt-Igoe Myth seeks to set the historical record straight, to examine the interests in Pruitt-Igoes creation, to re-evaluate the rumours and the stigma, to implode the myth.

Vincent Scully: An Art Historian among Architects Directed by Edgar Howard 56 minutes https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1998249281101 Vincent Scully is probably the best-known living art historian in the United States today. Scully has witnessed almost a century of design he watched modernism develop and fail, was involved in post-modernism and is now seeing the return of modernist thinking. He has a great understanding of what sustainable design is. As an art historian his knowledge of the last two thousand years of architecture also deepens his understanding of what the meaning is of a sustainable architecture. In his lectures and his more than 20 books on architecture he strived to place architecture within the context of the art and design worlds. A number of architects and former students contribute to this dialogue, including David Childs, Andres Duany, Peter Eisenman, Paul Goldberger, John Hale, David McCullough, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Robert A.M. Stern, and Robert Venturi. This film offers up an opportunity for everyone to experience the great teaching of this insightful champion of architecture, art and design.
