Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine / France, Belgium, 2024 / 80 min. / French language / English subtitles
This series of nine short films was created in collaboration between the architectural-film duo Bêka & Lemoine and the well-known Brussels collective Rotor, which focuses on ecology and recycling in architecture. The camera follows nine industrial sites within a 200 km radius of Brussels, documenting the circulation of materials in the contemporary economy. The films raise questions about industrial activity's impact on the landscape, processes of material transformation, and how industry produces and disposes of its waste.
The event is part of the Film and Architecture Festival. The screening will be introduced by representatives of the Rotor collective together with the directing duo Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine, who will join the event online. The film Transmutation was created on the occasion of the exhibition Rotor. Entangled Matter, presented at Bozar – Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels and organized by A+ Architecture (October 2024 – January 2025).
