This documentary depicts the life and career of the architecture photographer Julius Shulman. Shulman’s iconic images brought the work of architects including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry to the attention of the American mainstream.
The film simultaneously documents Southern California’s modernist movement, Shulman’s charismatic personality and the progression of modern architecture since the 1930s. Made in 2008, it is narrated by Dustin Hoffman and directed and introduced by Eric Bricker.
The screening is the first in a series of film nights focusing on American architecture, furniture and fashion during the mid-20th century, and the lasting impact this has had on international architecture and design.
