About the film
Winning multiple awards and filmed in English, The Architects of Hope is an immersive and uplifting journey to the heart of Ukraine following 5 leading architects on their determined journeys to continue creating & building during wartime. Many people were displaced in the early months of the war and many careers were seemingly over. But architects are a resilient bunch and the paradox of destruction brings with it a host of intriguing creative problems for these architects to solve.
As bold new architectural projects begin to rise again, the film also follows students from the Kharkiv School of Architecture, as they begin their own journeys preparing for the long term rebuilding of Ukraine. The work of these architects underscores the vital role of having a strong vision - because for them, hope is not merely wishful thinking. Hope is the essential first step in imagining the future world you want to live in.
