Architecture is a portrait of the person behind it. Behind the façades of iconic buildings lie ambitions and doubts, creative breakthroughs and political schemes, love, disappointment, and the urge to leave a mark on history. The Summer Architecture Festival LAF ia a selection of films that treat architecture not just as an art form, but as a living story of human ideas and destinies.

What unites every film in the programme is a shared desire to understand how space shapes us – and how we, in turn, reshape the world around us.

All films are shown in their original language with Russian subtitles.
