We are filmmakers, architects, thinkers discussing and exploring the material of film - as it mediates place through image, sound, and movement. Together, Anna Viola Sborgi, Hannah Paveck, Sander Hölsgens, Rebecca Loewen, and Thi Phuong-Trâm Nguyen, we share a focus on the productive encounters among different media, and the ways the printed page affects our engagement with film and filmmaking.
Film Place Collective stems from Film + Place + Architecture, a doctoral network initiated by Anna Ulrikke Andersen which organised biweekly reading groups, screenings, exhibitions, and a magazine.
