Architecton

Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) captures astonishing images, from the ancient temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a seismic earthquake, to reflect on the rise and fall of civilisations. A ravishingly cinematic and epic project born of environmental urgency, this poetic film asks us to consider how a better relationship with nature might allow humanity to survive.
