Der Film BEYOND ETERNITY bietet eine kritische Untersuchung von Architektur im Spannungsfeld globaler Herausforderungen wie Klimawandel, Ressourcenknappheit, zirkuläre Strategien, Immobilienspekulation und Flüchtlingskrisen. Er ist kontextualisiert innerhalb der zweiten Ausgabe der Sharjah Architecture Triennial (Vereinigte Arabische Emirate), die sich mit zeitgenössischen räumlichen und sozialen Fragestellungen auseinandersetzt. Im Anschluss an die Vorführung im HDA findet ein Gespräch zwischen Martin Grabner (Fotokünstler, Filmemacher, Assistenzkurator Kunsthaus Graz, Architekturabsolvent) und Arian Lehner (Regisseur des Films, Architekturabsolvent) statt, das die im Film aufgeworfenen Themen vertiefend diskutiert.

Erhältlich online und vor Ort im HDA.
