Architecton

This essay-like film features some of the most dramatic footage you’re likely to see this Festival, as the camera swoops through ruined buildings and streams of rock tumble slow-mo down the screen. As the dust clears and the camera retreats, you’re left to contemplate the nature of our relationship with building materials old and new. Alongside these ravishing images, we meet Italian architect and theorist Michele De Lucchi as he supervises the construction of a stone circle in his rain-swept garden. Another fascinating, immersive film in Russian director Kossakovsky’s impressive canon (¡Vivan Las Antipodas!, SFF 2012).
