MUNDO FRÁGIL

2026 / 102 mins / Italy/France / Directors: Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine

MUNDO FRÁGIL is a road movie that takes artist-filmmakers Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine across Chile with the years Pritzker Prize-winning architect Smiljan Radić, from the Atacama Desert to the Cordillera mountains. Known for their anthropological and often humorous approach to architectural subjects, Bêka & Lemoine turn their lens on one of Latin America's most singular architectural minds: a Chilean of Croatian heritage whose work refuses easy categorization.

Co-presented by Nienkämper

Hot Docs 2026 Trailer: THE TOWER THAT BUILT A CITY

In the 1970s, Toronto set out to build the world’s tallest tower, partly out of necessity, to restore failing broadcast signals and partly to escape Montreal’s shadow. What rose was more than an engineering feat: it became a mirror of the city itself.
