About this Event
Run time: 1 hour 48 minutes
Film and architecture are interwoven art forms, united by their shared articulation of lived space and temporality. The Geoffrey Bawa Trust’s new curated film series, “Sculpted Time: An Architecture-Focused Film Series” emphasizes architecture and built environments as dimensional characters in their own right rather than mere onscreen backdrops. Selected films will span countries and genres, using narrative and montage to unveil multiple layers of meaning inherent in spatial structure.
Join us for the fifth installment of this series, a screening of Mirror by filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. Mirror is a drama that traces the life of a dying poet and the evolution of Soviet culture between the 1960s and 1970s. Semi-autobiographical in nature, the film features poems by Tarkovsky’s father as well as his wife and mother. Mirror takes on a nonlinear narrative structure that incorporates childhood memories, dreams, and newsreel footage to piece together a comprehensive, yet fractured, account of the poet’s story.
Free admission and free seating.
