Despre Film

We invite you to a movie night at the Garrison. We will watch Laurian Ghinițoiu's documentary, which he submitted for Beta 2024. The documentary offers an in-depth understanding of how natural materials and human-centered architectural production intertwine. It explores marble’s journey from geological formation to innovative industrial techniques, revealing the intricate processes behind its transformation. Despite being filmed during the pandemic, the film delves deeper into socio-political contexts, geographical landscapes, working conditions, language barriers, energy consumption, and capitalist influences. By focusing on these interconnected elements, the documentary unravels the complexity of architectural creation, positioning marble as the protagonist, transitioning from an anonymous block to a translucent panel, inviting viewers to reflect on this multifaceted process.

Team: Laurian Ghinițoiu (initiator, co-director, videography), Arata Mori (co-director, editor), Yu Miyashita (composer)
