Minimal Movie
Short film in support of the upcoming book Soviet Modernism. Brutalism. Post-modernism. Buildings and Projects in Ukraine 1960–1990 (Osnovy Publishing / DOM publishers).
Its a wonderful representation of Kyiv’s eclectic architectural beauty. Unfortunately we might be seeing the last of some of these outstanding buildings.

Very well done. Yes, you are right. You could've gone further…
Eastern Europe and USSR has amazing examples of brutalist architecture like nowhere else on earth .
ugly
What song is playing?
How can people think this is pretty? Its scary and ugly alsmost dystopian
The United Nations needs to recognize these historical beautiful buildings as a world heritage site.
This rocks
A disregard, forgetting and fundamental change of the generations and ideas before? That's sounds like good ol' fashioned Politics to me. Maybe it's the same.
I always wondered the story behind those giant brutalist buildings in Russia and whereabouts. This is nostalgic and to know that the goverment wont help refurbish or maintain those magestic pieces has a bittersweet tint at the end for me
wow, it's so amazing video
Does anybody understand what those rather empty phrases mean?
touching video
This is whole thing of “we are not speaking of the past generation” is her own personal opinion.. Who are we in this? The stuck up architects? For productive documentary we need a better dialectic analysis than this generalization of her personal theory.
Hey, my boyfriend and I are planning to renovate our post-soviet apartment into a modern style apartment, how many of you would be interested in seeing the progress?
I'm so happy that I can still walk outside and see modernism architecture in my city
really really good editing and sound
Love it. Spotted a few in there like the Ukraine bus garage
True, the modernism is different way of thinking, it has no connection with past… unfortunately it’s true that the modernism of 60’s and 20’s century lost they revolution, but it doesn’t mean that is defeated
In first and second “five year plan” soviet had plenty of great building deisgh but we all know is WW2 come and soviet union lost almost everything in war against Germans
whats the building at 3:10?
Beautiful and grotesque.
Great! And the depth in the script is an amazing message for the west. Beautiful!
Dreadful and depressing you can imagine the KGB following you around these soulless structures.
Tear down all communism
Great video. I also travelled to Ukraine for brutalism!
This architectural style looks great in anamorphic. (Saw the link on the Anamorphic Shooters Facebook group)
really good job!
grey, inhuman and depressing. love n it!!!!! great work
