Barbara Stauffacher Solomon: Visions Not Previously SeenDirectors: Christian Bruno, Kurt Keppeler, and Natalija Vekic 2018 / 15 min / USA / Sony Home Theater This short documentary portrait highlights Barbara Stauffacher Solomon, a groundbreaking designer who fused Swiss modernism with an iconic and bold California pop aesthetic to create the design phenomena known as Supergraphics.

Built to Last – Relics of Communist-Era Architecture Director: Haruna Honcoop2017 / 59 min / Czech Republic Built to Last is a series of ten experimental short films exploring the fate of grand Soviet-style buildings and monuments erected during the Communist-era (1945-89) in Central and Eastern Europe. Moving from Moscow to Berlin, Warsaw, Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, Bucharest, Belgrade, Pristina, Tirana, and Sofia, the film mixes and fuses the past and present conditions of administrative buildings, museums, monuments, homes, Communist Party headquarters, hotels, and panel housing projects. The series of vignettes examines the changes in public attitudes to these relics of our recent past, which were built with the intention that they would last forever.

Charlotte Perriand: Les ArcsDirector: Spirit of Space 2016 / 4 min / USA This film is about architect Charlotte Perriand’s Les Arcs Resort in the French Alps was created for the exhibition Past Forward: Architecture and Design at the Art Institute.

ChildSafe: Designed to HealDirectors: Isaiah Rendon and Leo Aguirre2018 / 5 min / USA ChildSafe is a nonprofit organization that helps restore dignity, hope, and trust to those children who have been traumatized by abuse and neglect. In 2016, ChildSafe was in a building that was too small to sustain their growing support programs and an increase in staff. They enlisted the help of San Antonio architecture firm Overland Partners to build a new, state-of-the-art campus. This facility would allow the organization to incorporate multiple government agencies such as health professionals, state agencies, law enforcement, and legal teams under one roof. Inspired by ChildSafe’s unique mission, Overland embraced the opportunity to create a building that could serve as a catalyst for human transformation.

Design Canada

Director: Greg Durrell2017 / 76 min / Canada

Through the lens of graphic design, Design Canada follows the transformation of a nation from a colonial outpost to a vibrant and multicultural society, and asks the question: What defines national identity? Is it an anthem? A flag? A logo or icon? How do these elements shape who we are? In the 1960s and 1970s, these issues were explored by an innovative group of Canadian designers, who used design to unify the nation.

The Disappearance of Robin HoodDirector: Klearjos Eduardo Papanicolaou2018 / 25 min / UK Among the most daring and innovative of housing projects in 1970s London was the Robin Hood Gardens Estate. This documentary illustrates the campus’s innovative concept and character, contextualizing it within the housing crisis that lingers in London to this day.

Do More With LessDirectors: Katerina Kliwadenko and Mario Novas2017 / 84 min / Ecuador

Do More With Less shows how young architects are changing the industry by offering a new understanding of the way architecture interacts with society. The construction of real projects by students allows them the transformation from the theoretical to the practical. The film is a survey of many projects in South and Central America.

DoshiDirector: Premjit Ramachandran2009 / 74 min / India

In a career spanning almost 70 years, the work of architect Balkrishna Doshi, who received the Pritzker Prize in 2018, has mirrored the evolution of contemporary Indian architecture. Doshi’s first job under the French architect Le Corbusier (who designed the Indian city Chandigarh) had a profound impact on him but he has often sought to interpret Corbusier’s modernism through local conditions of site, climate, and available technology.

ElevationDirectors: Marcus Fairs and Oliver Manzi2018 / 18 min / UK / Sony Home Theater Elevation, produced by Dezeen, explores how drones will transform cities. “Aerial highways” will relieve pressure on roads as deliveries and human transportation take to the skies. Architecture will change dramatically as the ground floor entrance is replaced by rooftop landing. This utopian vision is set out in the film, which features interviews with architects and industry experts including Norman Foster, Paul Priestman, Liam Young, and Anab Jain.

Enough White TeacupsDirector: Michelle Bauer Carpenter2018 / 59 min / USA This documentary explores the Danish non-profit INDEX: Design to Improve Life, an international design competition. It highlights the most innovative INDEX award winners, and shows how design can be used to plan and build affordable housing, prevent blindness, destroy landmines, deliver vaccines and blood to remote places, clean up oceans, prevent infant mortality, and much more.


Director: Daniel Schwartz 2016 / 18 min / Germany and Switzerland / Sony Home Theater All over the world, people are turning to designers to address intractable problems from poverty to climate change. Francis Kéré seeks to do just this, using a mix of low-tech and high design and working in partnership with the communities for whom he builds. This film documents several projects Kéré has built or begun in the past 15 years, and shows the architect in action between his native Burkina Faso and Germany, where he is attempting to build a community performance center for Syrian refugees.

Frank Gehry: Building JusticeDirector: Ultan Guilfoyle2018 / 70 min / USA

Frank Gehry: Building Justice follows architect Frank Gehry’s investigation into prison design in the United States. Gehry, at the invitation of George Soros and his Open Society Foundation, forms two “master studios” of the top architecture students in the country, from SCI-Arc in Los Angeles and Yale School of Architecture. In collaboration with Susan Burton of the New Way of Life Reentry Project in Compton, California, Gehry and his students explore all aspects of prison design, witnessing how design flaws negatively affect those incarcerated.

Frey: Part 1 - The ArchitecturalEnvoyDirector: Jake Gorst2018 / 65 min / USA

Albert Frey, a Swiss-born mid-20th century architect, was a key figure in the introduction of Corbusian-influenced modernism to the United States. Through his innate curiosity of the American landscape, he developed an extraordinary design style, blending industrial techniques and a love of nature.

This film explores Frey’s formative years while working closely with Le Corbusier in Europe. It also shows his important transition to America, when he designed the famed Aluminaire House, the Canvas Weekend House, the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), as well as his Kocher-Samson Building in Palm Springs. The film reveals why Frey is such a significant force in the development of modernism in the United States.

This is the first of a two-part film series; the second film is anticipated in spring 2020. This film screening and panel discussion is supported in part by the Embassy of Switzerland.

Gaming The Real WorldDirector: Anders Eklund2016 / 73 min / Sweden

Can games change the world? Today public spaces and entire cities are being designed, planned, and played through the medium of games. The result of this “civic gamification” is that city architecture and urban planning is being democratized. Cities have become ground zero for digital innovation and the debate about how our cities evolve has suddenly gone viral.

Leaning Out

Directors: Basia and Leonard Myszynski2018 / 59 min / USA / D.C. Premiere

This is the story of Leslie Robertson, the lead structural engineer of the World Trade Center. Robertson oversaw the construction of the tallest building on the planet—and is haunted by its collapse and the events of September 11, 2001.

Driven by Robertson’s pacifism and activism, as well as a powerful collaboration with engineer Saw Teen See, Leaning Out showcases the innovation of the Twin Towers and takes a deeper look into the buildings that symbolize so much.

Meow Wolf: Origin StoryDirectors: Morgan Capps and Jilann Spitzmiller2018 / 90 min / USAWhen a group of young DIY artists in Santa Fe can’t find a door into the art world, they blow open an entirely new portal with their grit, passion, and tenacity. Within just a few short years—and with a little help from George R.R. Martin—Meow Wolf ultimately hits a cultural nerve and garners massive, unexpected success with their exhibition House of Eternal Return.

Mies on Scene. Barcelona in two actsDirectors: Xavi Campreciós and Pep Martín2018 / 57 min / Spain

The Barcelona Pavilion, the masterpiece with which Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich staged their revolutionary ideas in 1929, changed the history of architecture forever. It only existed for eight months but paradoxically its image was always alive in the minds of generations of architects around the world, becoming one of their greatest influences.

The Pavilion is still surrounded by myths and mysteries. This documentary frames the building into a portrait in two acts of the Barcelona that made possible its construction in 1929 and its reconstruction in 1986.

Operation Jane WalkDirectors: Leonhard Müllner and Robin Klengel2018 / 20 min / Austria / Sony Home Theater

Operation Jane Walk is based on the dystopian multiplayer shooter in Tom Clancy’s The Division. As a player explores the game’s post-apocalyptic city, issues such as architecture, history, urbanism, and the game developer’s interventions into the urban fabric are discussed.

Past/Presence: Saving the SpringGarden School(AIA Short Film Challenge Winner)

Director: Cheryl Hess2017 / 4 min / USA The Spring Garden School No. 1 in North Philadelphia had been vacant and abandoned for nearly 30 years before the Philadelphia Housing Authority teamed with the non-profit Help USA to convert the property into affordable housing.

Peter Bohlin: From Here to There –Hall of Fame 2017Director: Jillian Buckley2017 / 7 min / USA The basic philosophy about “the making of a pleasant space” applies to all of architect Peter Bohlin’s work, especially his designs for early Apple stores. Interior Design Magazine’s Cindy Allen interviews Bohlin about the remarkable moments from his 50-year career designing architectural gems for the likes of the Girl Scouts, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates.

RamsDirector: Gary Hustwit2018 / 70 min / USA

For over 50 years, Dieter Rams has left an indelible mark on the field of product design and the world at large with his iconic work at Braun and Vitsoe, and influenced the way most of today’s consumer products look and function.

Redemption SquareDirector: John Moody2018 / 20 min / USA / Sony Home Theater

Narrated by dozens of native Los Angelenos, the story takes viewers into one public space at the heart of Los Angeles during five eras of its transformation—from its creation in 1866 through its impending redesign today—and offers an alternative vision for LA’s public life based on the diverse perceptions, memories, and identities that come together in this one place every day.

Renzo Piano: The Architect ofLight Director: Carlos Saura2018 / 70 min / Spain

Celebrated Spanish director Carlos Saura captures the genius of one of the most famous Italian architects in the world: Renzo Piano, whose designs include the Center Pompidou in Paris, France, the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, Italy, and The New York Times Building in New York City, New York. Saura follows Piano during the design of the Botín Center in Santander, Spain, examining his creative process.

StoneDirectors: Paul Raftery and Dan Lowe2018 / 3 min / UK

Portland stone is a historic building material, used since Roman times, and reserved for the grandest buildings in London. Stone follows the journey of Portland stone from the cathedral-sized mine to the delicate, precision polish of a finished block.
