Schindler Space Architect
Join the West Coast Modern League on Saturday, November 9th as we introduce the Vancouver premiere of Schindler Space Architect at 9:00pm in VIFF Theatre 1.
Austrian-born and educated, R.M. Schindler laid the foundation for what is now considered the California lifestyle of indoor-outdoor living. This documentary explores his richly complex work, with its influences from the turn of the 20th century Vienna, the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright, the pueblos of Taos. It is an investigation into Schindler’s philosophy of Space Architecture as contrasted with the International Style that ruled modern architecture during most of the architect’s life.
The film reexamines Schindler’s complicated relationship with his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright and his rival Richard Neutra. The story asks key questions about the importance of domestic architecture in creating a national culture and as a living entity that shapes humanity. Schindler Space Architect affirms the singular genius of one man and the eternal challenge every artist faces to stay true to their vision and leave a lasting impact.
