Unity Temple: Frank Lloyd Wright's Modern Masterpiece
2020 / 55 min / USA
Director: Lauren Levine

Frank Lloyd Wright’s modern masterpiece, Unity Temple, is an homage to America’s most renowned architect during a pivotal time in his career. The film explores Wright’s first public commission in the early 1900’s and the painstaking efforts today to restore the 100-year old building back to its original beauty. The film intersperses the architect’s philosophies with quotes narrated by Brad Pitt.

Shown with: 

Light Snatcher
2021 / 29 min / Finland
Director: Charlotte Airas

Light Snatcher investigates the intricate play of natural light in the work of Juha Leiviskä, one of Finland’s most successful contemporary architects.  This lyrical film reveals how light plays with buildings and space, like reverberation in music -- and how light waves can act like sound waves, creating new dimensions of design.
