‘Utopia’ released on the MINUTES platform

We are delighted to introduce the short film 'Utopia', now freely available worldwide on MINUTES web platform.

Directed by Spanish director Joana Colomar, ‘Utopia‘ is a ‘slice of life’ look at a building where silence, music, past and future, coexist in perfect harmony.

A building full of life, Utopia Library and Academy for Performing Arts in Aalst thrives on the inextricable link with its citizens and a delicate mixture of seemingly opposite programs it comprises. Like its literary eponym, it emerges as an idyllic home for information, knowledge, culture, and leisure. Utopia is a dream and an island, a place where different people get together.

This film marks the third release for the eponymous series, consisting of 12 short movies directed by international filmmakers and portraying a selection of projects by KAAN Architecten.

MINUTES has also recently been screened at the Rotterdam Architecture Month, as a part of the closing event  ‘Undercurrent: Film in de garage’. Follow the link to check out the photos from the screening.
