About Competition
Cinema is often considered a dying medium, with the rise of streaming services poised to take its place as the way we watch movies. But the act of watching films in a cinema setting adds so much to the experience still and even has the opportunity to create new communities.
For the Iceland Movie Pavilion competition, Buildner is collaborating with the owners of Vogar farmland in northern Iceland to celebrate Icelandic cinema with the creation of a movie pavilion in this beautiful landscape. A popular backdrop for films and TV shows like Star Wars: Rogue One and Game of Thrones, the pavilion should reflect the essence of Icelandic cinema with the central focus being a small movie theatre capable of hosting up to 50 visitors.
The pavilion would need to be a place to introduce visitors to Icelandic cinema, as well as offer fans a place to gather and share their passion for film. This could take the form of a small gallery or event space with a cafe or bar that could cater to guests. Participants are encouraged to consider these requirements to make the space engaging and inviting, as well as functional. Iceland’s distinctive and remarkable landscapes and natural landmarks should be an inseparable part of the final concept.
