27 STOREYS - ALTERLAA FOREVER

AT/D 2023 - 82' - DF - Director: Bianca Gleissinger

The humorous debut documentary 27 STOREYS by Bianca Gleissinger is about Austria's largest social housing estate, Alterlaa, and its former promise of happiness to its residents. The director returns to the place of her childhood and encounters its eccentric and amiable residents - in the shooting club, in the Freddy Quinn Museum, at the pool on the roof or on the balcony - and thus provides a deep insight into a social biotope. "Living like the rich for everyone" was the utopian premise of the architect with the illustrious name Harry Glück in 1970. But what is left of that pioneering spirit? This film is a witty, very personal approach to an obscure place and an examination of its own roots.

In cooperation with the Haus der Architektur Köln.
