Fourth Love and Anarchy film festival day, two screenings.

Warning, spoilers!

The quiet migration (2023)

Farm equipment. Farm animals. Farm buildings. Perfectly positioned pretty cinematic shots of all those. This is "The quiet migration".

Carl is an orphan adopted from Korea into a family in rural Denmark. Growing up on the farm, he is constantly faced with a feeling of not belonging, reinforced by racist rhetoric in the small rural community.

An asteroid falls. Or is it something to indicate trouble to come, crisis of identity and past? I think if it was intended to be an asteroid maybe the film makers should have consulted someone on what kind of craters rocks that smash into the Earth leave. Or their likely composition and thus weight. But maybe asteroids don't float around in rooms anyway.

The whole film builds up to Carl needing to make a decision. Will he choose to inherit the family farm in the Danish countryside or possibly explore other possibilities in life. I think it was pretty clear which one he would be choosing, and it makes a good ending to the film. I just hope he talks to the girl.

Nightsiren (2022)

Slovakian forests sounds like a great setting for a film about witches. And there is a lot of beautiful forest scenery and small village charm. Like wife and kid beating men kind of charm. And enough superstition to burn people alive. Are there any witches though? The answer probably lies in whether there were any witches during the times when they were commonly burned alive, in the darkest times of European history.

This film does the rare thing of keeping you on your toes at all times throughout the film. Waiting for the spells to come out, waiting for the evil men to be turned into toads. Spoiler: this is not a fantasy film. Things get a bit magical at times, but we don't really get told whether it's the witches at play or not. There is beauty and horror going through the whole film, enough to keep one constantly focused on the screen. Not yawning and wondering when the film will end is always a good positive sign of a good production.

Indigenous Sámi Win Landmark Case against Wind Power Company

https://www.earthisland.org/journal/index.php/articles/entry/indigenous-sami-win-landmark-case-against-wind-power

In a landmark victory for Indigenous Sámi reindeer herders, the Norwegian Supreme Court ruled in October that the government should never have granted licenses for two wind farms recently constructed on traditional Sámi grazing lands. It found these licenses interfere with the Sámi’s right to cultural enjoyment, in violation of the United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

1540 Arquitectura references agave plant with triangular-shaped ranch

Exterior 1540 Arquitectura Ranch Tequila

Mexican studio 1540 Arquitectura has created a series of triangular structures incorporating a stable called Services Agavero Ranch in the Tequila district of Jalisco, Mexico.

Set in the Mexican countryside, the ranch was designed to resemble the shape of the agave plant, which is used to make tequila in the region that shares its name.

1540 Arquitectura designed the fully functioning ranch to be built within the existing agave fields.

Because of the uneven rise and fall of the landscape, triangular shapes were chosen.

"The triangle allowed us to rotate the constructions to our liking, only touching at one point with the construction next door, thus allowing us to adapt to the shape of the road in a natural way," said the studio.

"The similarity with the agave plant in terms of shape was a pleasant coincidence of the process."

The ceilings and foundations of the structures were made out of pigmented concrete, while the walls were formed from light brick.

The concrete colour is similar to the hues of the landscape and "allows a certain degree of transparency when the whole is observed from the back", according to the architecture studio.

1540 Arquitectura positioned the stables and the storehouse on either side of the caretaker's residence, which includes a bed, kitchenette, dining room and bathroom.

The storehouse contains all the equipment necessary for running the ranch.

Because of the changing needs of an agricultural operation, the use of multiple triangular structures allows for the future addition of more rooms.

While the tips of the triangular ranch structures stretch out and back towards the field, the broad fronts line the road. The entrances of the three separate envelopes are connected by a colonnade-lined portico.

The rows of colonnades that connect the exterior reference the "porticoes of small Mexican towns," according to the studio.

The overhang of the exterior walkway also provides shade from the intense desert sun. Lighting fixtures styled in an antique variety follow the walkway and saplings are planted in the gaps between the buildings.

The structure represents 1540 Arquitectura's plan to integrate the structure naturally into the landscape through colour, and into the cultural background through the use of traditional features like the portico.

"This time," the studio said, "it was the turn of the brick, the triangle, the podium and the colonnade, which combined together projected the atmosphere and presence we were looking for on this occasion".

This is not the first time that the firm has been involved with infrastructure for the tequila industry. Also in Jalisco, it designed the offices for the Casa Leyros Distillery.

For more architecture that integrates stables and horses, see these wooden stables completed by Pook on the edge of a Finnish forest and Casey Brown's design of a metal-clad house and stables in an Australian national park.
