Fanny Liatard’s gorgeous, moving feature debut is set in Cité Gagarine – a vast red brick housing project on the outskirts of Paris – concocting an urban fantasy around its real-life demolition in August 2019.
Isolated, inventive 16 year old Youri dreams of becoming an astronaut, inspired by his namesake and the Gagarine’s too, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. But with the building in disrepair and scheduled to be demolished, Youri plans to save it, by transforing the estate into his very own ‘starship’.
Screening as part of Architecture on Film, a film season in Jan and Feb inspired by the release of The Brutalist.
