The educational film shows how Bratislava – then known as Prešporok (in Slovak), Pozsony (in Hungarian), and Pressburg (in German) – experienced an incredible development boom built upon bold urban visions around 1900, Bratislava. The city became a kind of symbolic crosswords or both receding and fresh architectural currents and styles, which produced several works of exceptional architectural value echoing the Viennese and Hungarian Secession movements. So, what is the story of the Secession in the city that was becoming a modern Danube metropolis? And who were among its main protagonists besides renowned architects Otto Wagner and Ödön Lechner? This is the story the film aims to tell the younger generation and anybody looking to learn more about the architectural heritage of Art Nouveau in the Danube region.

EDUCATIONAL FILM

Text and screenplay: Jana Pohaničová

Video: Šimon Lupták

As part of the ART NOUVEAU2 project, within the educational work package, educational programs are aiming to increase the level of awareness and knowledge about Art Nouveau in the young generations. They are developed in such a way that they can be put into practice in different geographical and institutional settings after local adaptations. The educational concept is a prime example of harnessing the benefits of the transnational setting to find and implement the most suitable and best-adaptable educational programs which will both educate and entertain children and youth. It is based on experimentation and cross-validation in different areas of the Danube region, thus ensuring its wide applicability. Short films and workshops designed for educational purposes will empower the community of professionals from cultural or educational institutions to improve their performance.

The film was realized within the Interreg Danube Transnational Program of the ARTNOUVEAU2 project, as one of the five educational films. Each partner made their own film, and they were translated into the languages ​​of all partners.
