Directed by Ksenia Okhapkina
Documentary · 40m
This film is a journey from the modern world to the past, from the complex to the simple. Changing the appearance of cities is always associated with a change in the model of social relations. Through architecture, you can trace the course of history: victories and defeats, changes in the way of life of people and their key values. This is evidenced by the cities. Grozny, Volgograd, St. Petersburg, Pskov-absolutely not similar to each other, with different historical fate, however, the author shows in the film the common thing that unites their living space: the temple as an image of the universe. The largest mosque in Europe, Mamayev Kurgan, as a symbol of Victory in the World War, the polytheism of Imperial St. Petersburg, the heavenly city of ancient Pskov. However, any architectural project starts with a master pencil. The architect Andrey Anisimov tells about the exceptional features of these cities.
