International Film: The Infinite Happiness

The International Film Series presents The Infinite Happiness, a 2015 film from France. Conceived as a personal video diary, this film takes us to the heart of a contemporary housing development, considered to be a new model of success in Denmark— the giant “8 House”. Situated in the suburbs of Copenhagen, the filmmakers recount their own experiences as occupants living in this award-winning residential building. Through the intimate stories of the building’s inhabitants, the filmmakers explore the capability of architectural design to provide collective happiness, capturing surprising outcomes of this modern social experiment.
