The Burning Child is a 2019 American-Austrian feature documentary film directed by Joseph Leo Koerner and Christian D. Bruun.[1] Created by Harvard art historian Joseph Koerner, the film explores Viennese architectural Modernism through the story of Koerner's father, painter Henry Koerner, who escaped Vienna after Adolf Hitler's annexation of Austria. Part documentary, part personal narrative, part dream sequence, the film explores themes of home, landscape, memory, trauma, repetition, and exile.[2] The film began streaming on Amazon Prime in 2022. A new German version of the film, titled Wohnungswanderung,is underway. A director's cut was screen May 7, 2024 as the inaugural film presentation at the newly expanded Wien Museum.
