Films selected for We are Public
Renovation
Ilona thinks she has found her ideal home in run-down but charming Soviet-era apartment block in Vilnius, where she hopes to build her career as a writer. But her new life is abruptly upended when renovation begins without warning.
Rule of Stone
Dispossession by design. An investigation into the importance of Jerusalem stone, a material that architects must use to give Jerusalem its unique aesthetic quality. A story about the direct political implications of architecture, and of stone in particular.
Kontinental ’25
A homeless man is evicted from a building by bailiff Orsolya and takes his own life in despair. Orsolya feels complicit and falls into a crisis she is desperate to escape. A black comedy about the human condition in the neo-liberal era.
The Masters: David Gropman
David Gropham, production designer of the Emmy-winning Netflix series Ripley, shows how his sets evoke 1960s Italy, where classical architecture provides the backdrop for the dark story.
Sanatorium
Near Odessa lies the Kuyalnik Sanatorium, a dated health resort where it feels as if the seventies never ended – even as the war increasingly makes its presence felt. A dryly comic portrait of colourful eccentrics who persevere stoically despite everything.
