Review of documentary films about outstanding examples of social-modern architecture

We invite you to a festival of films from the communist era in which architecture is not the background, but the main character.

The presented films will take us on a journey through the best and most original productions of the countries behind the Iron Curtain. Three thematic blocks, meetings with filmmakers and discussions about architecture - we will see all this on four Saturdays in November.
