Ella Bergmann-Michel – Wo wohnen alte Leute AKA Where Old People Live (1931)
Quote:
The documentary film ‘Where Do Old People Live’, commissioned in 1931 by Dutch architect Mart Stam, shows the modern and forward-looking architecture of the Budge Home in Frankfurt. Its residents live in spacious, light-filled rooms and are accommodated in single rooms with state-of-the-art facilities. The film focuses on presenting architecture that promotes social interaction among residents through its spatial structure.
Ella Bergmann-Michel developed the screenplay together with Mart Stam and then took on the direction herself. The film is intended as a plea for modern architecture and was made as part of the ‘League for Independent Film’ working group, which was formed in Frankfurt in 1931 and produced documentary and artistic films as a counterpoint to the prevailing commercial entertainment films.
