Architecture mini season: Architecton at the Electric Palace

Screening as part of Architecture mini season, which celebrates buildings and places on screen, marvelling in the beauty and power of architecture from all across the globe. We will also be screening new releases The Brutalist, E1027 - Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea as well as classic art film Koyaanisqatsi, produced by Francis Ford Coppola.

An epic and poetic work that weaves together thousands of years of history to offer a poetic meditation on humanity’s relationship with architecture.

Director Kossakovsky 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 who use concrete and stone to attempt to build permanent structures.

A ravishingly cinematic project born of environmental urgency, the film asks us to consider how a better relationship with nature might allow humanity to survive.

"A gorgeously photographed poetic reverie" - The Observer
