Marco Bertozzi takes us to the Rimini Skyscraper, a controversial 100-meter-tall building that was once a symbol of modernity and is now a vertical neighborhood with residents from 20 different countries.
The movie offers us many different looks at this vertical city that stands out on the horizon of the Adriatic Sea, a Tower of Babel pulsating with heterogeneous lives.
Paired with Cinema Grattacielo, the documentary Iemand Thuis explores the experiences of individuals who have left their original homes, each offering a unique reflection on their personal understanding of what "home" means.
The first screening on February 4th starts with the short film Iemand Thuis by Studio Orka, within the presence of the filmmaker and with an introduction by Hülya Ertas from VAi and Joyce Palmers from De Cinema.
Curated by VAi and De Cinema, the Architecture on Film series puts documentaries and fictional movies about architecture in the spotlight. The screenings start on January 2025 and take place in De Studio, at the centre of Antwerp. Explore the art and impact of architecture through the lens of cinema, where buildings become characters, cities set the stage, and design shapes stories.
The film series is a reflection of VAi’s ongoing programming and De Cinema’s interest in built environment and architectural design.
The screenings are planned for each first Tuesday of the month with an intro by the directors or experts and a re-run on the third Tuesday of the same month. The tickets are on sale via De Cinema (9€ regular, 6,5€ discount).

Architecture on Film is a monthly film series by De Cinema and the Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi), bringing together two complementary areas of expertise: that of a unique cinema with a strong focus on film heritage and new voices, and that of an institute that explores architecture, design and heritage from a broad social and cultural perspective.
