Film and Architecture

Next project is investigating Film and Architecture resulting in a Film Centre in Sheffield as a collaboration of British Film Institute and Sheffield City Council.

The excerpt above shows how spaces are associated to objects and social behaviours. Watch to see another point of view on this.

I watched the Metropolis (1927) last night. Despite it's over two hours length seemed to be quite interesting and kept me wanting to see the end. Plot with twists and turns, political and social messages going across many times during the film and it's worth remembering the context and location it was projected (Germany, post-WW1). Also architectural paradoxes were apparent giving different layers of meanings associating space and social class. A movie well worth watching.
