Short documentary / Public Housing: Belgrade Mode / 2023 / Belgrade

Already in the late 1960s, planners, social scientists, the press, and other groups within the cultural sphere began to reflect upon the onset of an existential crisis in modern architecture in Belgrade. The image of Belgrade changed rapidly because of the political and historical context that shaped the development of the city. Once on a very small scale, Belgrade started to grow from the time of modernism and functionalism escalated. But the growth of the city was soon uncontrollable as capitalism and politics started to interfere in the urban planning, if there was any. In Belgrade, public housing and informal settlements were side effects of the modern urbanization process upon which neither the state nor the planning institutions had sufficient influence. In a short documentary I am exploring the growth of the city is present in terms of public housing, as housing is the basic human right, and how these socio-political changes impact affordability for public housing in contemporary Belgrade. The short research documentary includes diverse points of view from professionals, activists and locals on deciding and creating an urban space – that needs to be rediscovered through the situation of public housing in Belgrade.
