Film and panel discussion at BRØK

Join us for the very first CPH:DOX film screening at Kulturhuset BRØK!
 
We will be showing the film ‘The Tingbjerg Experiment’ by Louise Detlefsen, followed by a panel discussion about the Tingbjerg experiment. Brønshøj-Husum is home to both villa areas, terraced houses, and large public housing estates side by side. But what happens when a neighborhood changes? How is urban development experienced from the inside? The film screening at the community center BRØK opens up local conversations about life in a neighborhood in transition.
 
‘The Tingbjerg Experiment ‘is a portrait of a neighborhood in transition. A documentary portrait that, through a series of character-driven narratives, looks beyond the prejudices surrounding one of Copenhagen’s most notorious neighborhoods. Over the course of several years, the neighborhood’s population is set to double, and private homes will be built among the public housing. The 2018 Parallel Society Act forms the basis for this enormous construction project, which researchers call the largest social housing experiment since World War II. No one knows what this process will lead to.
 
The goal is clear: to combat parallel societies by creating a more mixed group of residents. But can this controversial method create better integration, social cohesion, and community across social and cultural differences? Combating parallel societies by creating a more mixed group of residents. But can this controversial method create better integration, social cohesion, and community across social and cultural differences? How do social engineering, political visions, and everyday life go hand in hand?

 

This conversation will be in Danish.
