The Architecture & Design Film Festival, WantedDesign, Industry City, Consulate General of Denmark present the New York premiere of Boris Bertram’s latest film, The Human Shelter. The film is an epic, poetic journey investigating how we, as human beings, design and build our homes. The film will explore the concept of the “home,” and how humans express themselves creatively within that sacred space, whether it’s a lagoon settlement in Lagos, a refugee camp in Iraq or a six square-meter dwelling in Tokyo.
Part of IC Design Festival by WantedDesign, the event will take place May 16th in Courtyard 5/6 of Industry City right next to Distillery Row and delicious food vendors. Come kick-start summer by heading over early, getting some locally made food and drinks and enjoy the panel and film en plein air.
