Architects, their relatives, colleagues, historians and art theorists tell stories connected with socialist buildings and bring a comprehensive view of this stigmatized part of the history of Czechoslovak architecture. Expo 58, Prior or Kotva. Architecture created during the period of socialism arouses constant discussion in today's public space. For a part of society, it is just a monotonous example of a remnant of the communist regime, which it would prefer to forget. The documentary series, however, looks at the resulting buildings without ideological prejudices and focuses primarily on the actual work of the architects at that time. The eight-part series was created based on the theme of Vladimír 518, who published his own book on the topic. We will screen two parts within the program block.
