The latest film from master documentarian Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) is an extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete and its ancestor, stone.

Architecton is an epic, intimate, and poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction — and offer hope for survival and 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?

Visions of Europe returns for its 4th edition, celebrating the breadth of European cinema with a handpicked selection of new releases, previews, festival hits and classics returning to the big screen.
