Bauta

2018 · 21 min

A quiet, contemplative visual essay that invites you to see stark concrete buildings anew, with a lingering sense of unease and beauty.

Directed by
Paul Tunge, Egil Håskjold Larsen
Genres
Documentary
Tagline
A visual take on modernist / brutalist architecture in Norway.
Overview
Bauta is a short documentary that explores public, monumental buildings in Norway - stone and concrete buildings. By the public they have the desire to be torn down, or are not given particular aesthetic value. But what about when people are out of the buildings and they get to stand for themselves? Bauta provides a new experience of space and architecture.
