New Documentaries
Visual Acoustics is a about the life and career of Julius Shulman, one of the greatest architectural photographers. His work is captures all the Californian modernist greats, I had not heard of Shulman before but was very familiar with his work, it really defined an era.
Objectified is the new film by Gary Hustwit, who also did the Helvetica documentary. His look at manufactured objects and there designers should be good.
Art & Copy is about advertising and inspiration. Some of the ad men look pretty intense, most definitely different to Don Drapers era (if you haven’t checked out Mad Men you should, it is an excellent series).
Now to just find somewhere is Berlin to see all of these films! I am most excited for Visual Acoustics. I hope if there are no screenings in Berlin I can still buy a download copy.
