## Synopsis

Sotsgorod: Cities for Utopia is a 1996 Dutch documentary film about a group of Western European architects who were invited by the Soviet Union to construct "socialist cities" in Siberia during the late 1920s and early 1930s. The film draws on interviews with some of the last living survivors of the time, including Jan Rutgers, Margarete Lihotzky, and Philipp Tolziner. The film also utilizes letters, articles, and lectures written by those who have already died, including Hans Schmidt, Mart Stam, Johannes van Loghem, and Ernst May. Additionally, the film follows the daily lives of contemporary residents of Magnitogorsk, Orsk, Novokuznetsk, and Kemerovo.
