How can an idea remain alive once it has become history? bauhaus forever. begins at the Bauhaus-Archiv in Berlin, suspended between an inaccessible past and an unfinished future: its listed building is undergoing restoration and refurbishment, while a new museum extension rises beside it. The film stays close to this state of transition without turning architecture into its subject.
Across seven chapters, spaces, conversations and abstract images are set in motion by a score composed specifically for the film. The Bauhaus appears not as a style to be explained, but as a proposition still under pressure. One voice recalls its refusal of the status quo, its belief in experiment and in form as a social force. The question is no longer what the Bauhaus was, but what becomes of such an idea once it is archived, institutionalised and handed on.
Director Nico Weber will be attending the festival as a guest and will take part in a Q&A following the screening of the film on Friday 28 August. At the film's first screening, on Saturday 22 August, curator and architect Tarja Nurmi will be present to introduce the film.
