The ‘Casa do Povo’ cultural centre in São Paulo, an icon of the secular Jewish workers’ movement: a crumbling theatre flanked by staircases, entryways and corridors. Construction noise drones away in the background, clinking crockery, a broom sweeping over tiled floors, an expressive façade of countless adjustable panes of glass covered by a patina. It’s October 2016 and a group of young people are preparing a preview of Bickels [Socialism]. The venue is to form a prologue to the completed film, which tours 22 buildings in Israel designed by Samuel Bickels, most of which for kibbutzim. Dining halls, children’s houses, agricultural buildings, bright structures inserted into the Mediterranean landscape with great ingenuity. An architecture with a sell-by date: That many are now empty or have been repurposed at best is linked to the decline of the socialist ideals they embody. 　　Paintings by Jewish artist Meir Axelrod from the Crimea in the 1930s form the epilogue. It tells the tragic story of the Vio Nova kibbutz, which first foundered under the British Mandate in Palestine and later fell victim to Stalinism, before being liquidated entirely under the German occupation.

Heinz Emigholz 热衷以光影去纪录建筑，本片选自大型计划「超越摄影」最新的「街市风景」系列。在乌拉圭首都 Montevideo, 一名导演约见临床心理学家，倾吐内心的困扰，由德国战后的童年经历谈起，然后谈到他的电影创作和他遭遇的问题。两人进行着马拉松式对话，而 Emigholz 不只要观众洗耳聆听，还要用眼观看，镜头里不停转换的背景，出现不同的特色建筑与街景，成了同样重要的主角，也在跟喋喋不休的角色进行着另一种对话。（41届香港国际电影节）
