Breuer’s Bohemia
“James Crump, the intrepid director, writer, and art historian, has done the impossible, crafting a smart, serious architecture documentary that isn’t hopelessly dry and boring. His latest film, Breuer’s Bohemia, takes an incisive look into the roiling cultural milieu in which Marcel Breuer crafted some of his most groundbreaking residential projects. It’s a take of inspiration and decadence, rife with heavy drinking and free love, all set against a backdrop of leftist politics and social iconoclasm incubated in the seemingly staid suburban outposts of Connecticut and Massachusetts.” – Architectural Digest

Architecture of Infinity
Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one’s outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? Filmmaker Christoph Schaub starts his personal journey through time and space in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began- and his wonder at beginnings and ends. Schaub explores, together with architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Markill and Alvaro Siza Vieira, the artists James Turrell and Cristin Iglesias and drummer virtuoso Jojo Mayer, the magic of sacred spaces, defined here as far more than church buildings.
