Competition Documentaries, Denmark 2017, 90 Min., dan., engl. OV, engl. st

At the age of 42, Danish star architect Bjarke Ingels had already built more world-renowned building than some architects do in an entire lifetime. After establishing himself in Denmark, he founded the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in 2012, set up an office in New York, where he was commissioned for high-profile projects such as VIA 57 West, and the new Two World Trade Center at Ground Zero. The film uses impressive camerawork to bring us closer to Bjarke Ingels’ architecture. But first and foremost, it concentrates on the highly charismatic man himself, his vision and what he has achieved in leading a company with 400 employees, and building projects on various continents. Nonetheless, “Big Time” is no hagiographic promotional film. Kaspar Astrup Schrøder also shows us the shadow side of his life, creating a captivating portrait of a committed, driven artist.
