Now available on DVD:  The documentary movie “Visual Acoustics. The Modernism of Julius Shulman” by Eric Bricker will be released on DVD on May 25th.

Since VISUAL ACOUSTICS premiered theatrically in New York last October, the movie has since been screened in over 50 cities across the U.S., it won several awards and convinced an enthusiastic audience in the U.S. and Europe.

The documentary film project explores the monumental career of architecture photographer Julius Shulman. “Taking its aesthetic cues from Shulman’s own sensual and nuanced photography, the film’s narrative is built from a blend of Shulman’s own images as well as in depth interviews with architect Frank Gehry, designer Tom Ford, artist Ed Ruscha, actress Kelly Lynch and writer Mitch Glazer, publisher Benedikt Taschen, Academy Award – nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti, and a host of others.” The documentary is narrated by Dustin Hoffman.

Finally, the television premiere of VISUAL ACOUSTICS is May 24th at 8:30 p.m. on Sundance Channel. More information can be found HERE.

DVD über Rem Koolhaas

124 min

Prod. 2005, erschienen 2007

Produktbeschreibung:

Kaum ein Architekt hat in den letzten Jahren außerhalb der Architekturszene für so viel Aufsehen gesorgt wie Rem Koolhaas. Dem Holländer ging es nie um das einzelne “masterpiece”, sondern stets darum, zu provozieren und Spannung zu erzeugen. Die Seattle Library, die Casa da Música in Porto oder die Niederländische Botschaft in Berlin sind eindrucksvolle Beispiele einer Architektur, die mehr sein will als bloße Architektur. Die Bedeutung und das internationale Renommee des “Architekturdenkers” (Der Spiegel) bezeugen eine Professur an der Harvard-Universität und die Verleihung des Pritzker-Preises im Jahr 2000. Die Jury würdigte Koolhaas als “Visionär und Ausführer, Philosoph und Pragmatiker, Theoretiker und Prophet”.

Comment

I’ll be watching the DVD this weekend and I’m already excited about it. Read positive critics, but also that there’d be some comments on “morality” and his CCTV Tower in Beijing. Sounds promising.

I’ll get back to you about the film!
