FILM AND ARCHITECTURE 2022

From 29 September to 4 October, this international film festival will present short and feature-length films on architecture and urbanism for the eleventh time in more than two dozen Czech and Slovak cities. As part of the festival's Invisible Architects section, which focuses on personalities less known to the general public, a film about the Danish designer Grethe Meyer will be screened in the villa.

GRETHE MEYER: THE QUEEN OF DANISH DESIGN

Danish design is known worldwide for its simplicity, functionality and timelessness. However, most of the designers from the so-called golden age between the 1930’s and 1970’s were overlooked and sometimes quite forgotten in their own time. This semi-fiction film tells the story of Grethe Meyer, one of the few pioneers in the field, whose fearless assertiveness enabled her to promote now-iconic products such as Blåkant’s porcelain collection for Royal Copenhagen or multifunctional stoneware. She combined humanistic thinking with an almost scientific methodology in all her designs.
