Cathedrals of Culture
"If buildings could talk, what would certainly they claim concerning us?" CATHEDRALS OF CULTURE provides six surprising feedbacks. This 3D film project concerning the heart of structures enables 6 iconic and extremely different structures to speak for themselves, examining human life from the unblinking point of view of a manmade framework. Six well-known filmmakers bring their own aesthetic style and imaginative strategy to the project. Structures, they show us, are material manifestations of human idea as well as action: the Berlin Philharmonic, an icon of modernity; the National Library of Russia, a kingdom of thoughts; Halden Prison, the globe's most gentle jail; the Salk Institute, an institute for development science; the Oslo Music Hall, a futuristic synergy of art as well as life; and the Centre Pompidou, a modern society device. BASILICAS OF society checks out exactly how each of these spots reflects our society and protects our collective memory.
