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 (commissioned by MAS), 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).

Starting in 2025, De Cinema and the Flemish Architecture Institute (VAi) will join forces for a unique series of monthly film evenings in De Cinema in Antwerp under the title “Architecture on Film”. Each first Tuesday of the month, this collaboration takes you into the world of architecture and cinema, where buildings become characters, cities set the stage, and design shapes the stories. Films are always screened in their original language with English subtitles, and introductions are in English. For those seeking a second chance: the films will be re-screened without an introduction on the third Tuesday of the month.
The series kicks off in January and February 2025 with the theme “Living Together”, focusing on collective living and architecture’s social engagement. As from March, the focus shifts to the female perspective and diversity in architecture.
