Central Airport THF

Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport, once among the world’s 20 largest buildings, closed in 2008, but since 2015 it has had a new purpose: as an emergency refugee shelter. With a focus on 18-year-old Syrian refugee Ibrahim Al Hussein, director Karim Aïnouz and crew spent a year chronicling one community amongst the many; his gently probing camera, humanist perspective and sensitivity to the refugees’ plight are echoed in his feel for the architectural forms within which these asylum seekers dream of new lives.
