ADFF:ONLINE is a way for the architecture and design community to remain engaged and experience specially-curated films during this “shelter-at-home” period. We hope this new online venue will serve as a virtual space for the professional design industry - and the broader community - to be together.
The live streaming program will start at 8:00 pm ET with an introduction by ADFF Founder Kyle Bergman. Then the feature film, Glenn Murcutt: Spirit of Place, will be screened, followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Catherine Hunter. The entire program will be about 90 minutes. ADFF will replay the program again at 8:00 pm PT.
Glenn Murcutt: Spirit of Place
Director: Catherine Hunter
2017 / 59 min / Australia
Glenn Murcutt – Spirit of Place explores the life and art of Australia’s most famous living architect. Murcutt’s extraordinary international reputation rests on the beauty and integrity of his work. With a swag of international awards (including the prestigious Pritzker Prize), Murcutt has literally put Australian architecture on the world map. And yet, by choice, he has never built outside his own country. Murcutt’s focus instead has been the creation of energy-efficient masterpieces perfectly suited to their environment and his breakthrough designs have influenced architects around the world. This documentary follows Glenn Murcutt, now over 80 years old, as he designs his most ambitious project to date – a mosque for an Islamic community in Melbourne.
