MDWFF25: Living Together: The Story of De Warren

Melbourne Design Week Film Festival

Living Together: The Story of De Warren is a documentary about the establishment of Housing Cooperative De Warren. The film begins with KONIJN, a group of friends who organize parties and festivals. After founding a permaculture farm in Portugal, the idea of living together arises. The idea of De Warren is born. The project is ambitious, being the first of its kind in the Netherlands, and none of the young housing pioneers have ever built a house. An inspiring film that points to a new way of living sustainably and communally.
