A24 Documentary ARCHITECTON Gets Official Trailer, Theatrical Release Date

A24 has unveiled the official trailer for their upcoming documentary ARCHITECTON, which will launch in US theaters in limited release on August 1st, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 Berlin International Film Festival.

Architecton is written and directed by Victor Kossakovsky, and features Michele De Lucchi, Mauro Mella, Davide Alioli, Nick Steur, Abdul Nabi al-Afi, and Maksim Gaubetc.

In the film, Kossakovsky presents a poetic meditation on architecture and how the design and construction of buildings from the ancient past reveal our destruction – and offer hope for survival and a way forward. He reflects on the rise and fall of civilizations while focusing on a landscape project by the Italian architect Michele De Lucchi, using imagery from the temple ruins of Baalbek in Lebanon, dating back to AD 60, to the recent destruction of cities in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in early 2023.

We’ve added the release date to our In Theaters calendar. Check out the new official trailer and poster below.
