Description

NYC PREMIERE A visually stunning documentary that explores humanity’s relationship with architecture and the environment. Italian architect Michele De Lucchi reflects on the need for a new concept of beauty, as traditional grandiose structures and disposable concrete buildings become unsustainable. Through mesmerizing imagery of ancient ruins, modern cityscapes, and natural quarries, the film invites viewers to question the ecological impact of architecture on the world, without imposing definitive answers. - Ruth Somalo

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmakers and special guests.


All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
