VACANCY

Brasilia, the "city of hope", "the ultimate utopia of 20th century" (Umberto Eco), is being conservated as a cultural heritage today. It is a place as old as the filmmaker. Segments of amateur footage feature films shot on location in the early sixties are inserted in this 1998 travelogue. The utopian city as represented in 'Vacancy' is a place abandoned from its inhabitants, a museum kept alive by its staff only.
