The Hall
Directed by Hans Christian Post30 minShort
Waves crash against the building's concrete shell. Water seeps in and pools on the floor in front of the centuries-old wooden ships. Architects call the building a brutalist masterpiece, politicians call it a cultural elite monument, and in 2018, the Minister of Culture delisted the Viking Ship Hall in Roskilde. The film asks: Which stories do we choose to immortalise in stone? How do we distinguish between what's worthy of preservation and what's not? And is it out of respect for history, or is there a deeper impulse at play when we protect heritage-a need to anchor our fleeting existence to something more lasting?
