Film Series Screening: Schindler Space Architect

Join us for the second film in the CA+D Film Series, Schindler Space Architect,  celebrating the life and work of one of architecture’s modernist visionaries, Austrian-born architect R.M. Schindler. Featuring an inspired narration by Meryl Streep, documentary filmmaker Valentina Ganeva adeptly weaves the personal and professional threads of Schindler’s life that led to his radical reimagining of the idea of home. Interviews with Frank Gehry, Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, and other renowned architects reveal how Schindler’s original concepts of architecture and nature helped lay the foundation for the California modernist style. 

After the screening, Director Valentina Ganeva will join us for a Q&A about her film and the connections between Schindler, fellow Austrian Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames.

Come discover the story of a man who built the future before the world was ready.

Movie theater concessions will be provided to enjoy during the screening.
