Filmclub Casablanca shows "Architecton" (documentary, 2024) For the Day of Architecture on 28/29.06.

What will the people of the next civilization recover from our time? Victor Kossakovsky ("Gunda") poses this question in ARCHITECTON and condenses possible answers to it into an intense, visually simply overwhelming cinematic experience that lets us feel the fragile structures of the world up close.
In overwhelming shots of nature, he follows the life cycle of stones, which begins in nature and ends in the garbage dump, and portrays the architect Michele De Lucchi, a disillusioned representative of our present day. While modern buildings collapse in wars and natural disasters, ancient ruins in the most remote areas of the world remind us of a stability and aesthetics of life that seems lost.

A magnificent documentary of hypnotic power about the dream of sustainable architecture and the search for a new understanding of beauty that can show us a way out of this labyrinth of concrete.
