Fackelmann

A documentary film about Hans Fackelmann, a prominent architect from the Banat region, showcasing powerful stories and documents from his discreet life.

“It gives me pleasure to carve out a piece of space from the cosmos, to shape it according to functional needs…,” said Hans Fackelmann, a functionalist architect who, in his all-too-short career, evolved from the modernist minimalism of the “International Style” towards his own expressionist synthesis—a true fusion of the arts, in collaboration with visual artists, as seen in the extraordinary churches of Orșova and Dumbrăvița.

The cinematic project is part of the series Vertical Portrait – Architects in the Memory of the City, an engaging exploration of Timișoara’s built history, recalling the contributions of some of its most valuable architects.
