about this film
The latest film from master documentarian Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela), Architecton is an epic, intimate, and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past both reveal our destruction and offer hope for a way forward.
Through Kossakovsky’s lens, the grandeur and folly of humanity and its precarious relationship with nature posits two urgent questions: how do we build, and how can we build better, before it’s too late?
Travelling from devastated Ukrainian cities to ancient monuments in Lebanon to the aftermath of earthquakes in Turkey, capturing truly astonishing footage, Architecton is an ode to the rise and fall of civilisations and the need for environmental urgency.
