The Match Factory Boards Victor Kossakovsky’s ‘Architecton’ Ahead of Berlinale Premiere, A24 to Release in North America
The Match Factory has acquired the international rights to the new documentary by the Russian director Victor Kossakovsky.
He captures breathtaking imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to 60 AD, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023. “Rocks and stone connect the disparate societies, from ghostly monoliths stuck in the earth to tragic heaps of concrete rubble waiting to be hauled off and repurposed anew,” the description continues. Demonstrating his mastery in previous works like ‘Gunda’ and ‘Aquarela,’ he now skilfully integrates architecture, geography, environment and anthropology into a singular cinematic experience with ‘Architecton,’ presenting an extraordinary visual narrative.”
