ABOUT THE LECTURE

1 - The City in Film: City Symphonies

In the 1920s and 1930s, many experimental films were made that featured entire cities as their subject. Dubbed city symphonies, these films portrayed their respective city as a living organism, often structured around the theme “a day in the life.”


ABOUT THE SERIES

**Discounted tickets when you buy the full 6-lecture course!**

Ever since its invention in the late 19th century, film has included buildings, streets, and whole cities as part of their story-telling. Join Architecture Sarasota’s Scholar-in-Residence Dr. Christopher Wilson as he presents the various usages of architecture and the built environment in the cinema.
