Film screening:  Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman

Live Q&A with filmmaker!

Part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Film

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Visual Acoustics explores the monumental career of 97-year-old architectural photographer Julius Shulman. Populating his photos with human models and striking landscapes, Shulman combined the organic with the synthetic, melding nature with revolutionary urban design. The resulting images helped to shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century, with Shulman documenting the work of Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Pierre Koening, John Lautner, and many others. Taking its aesthetic cues from Shulman's own sensual and nuanced photography, the film's narrative is built from a blend of Shulman's own images as well as in-depth interviews with architect Frank Gehry, designer Tom Ford, artist Ed Ruscha, actress Kelly Lynch,writer Mitch Glazer, publisher Benedikt Taschen, Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti, and a host of others.

Film screening:  Bleacher Boys

Live Q&A with filmmaker!

Part of the Southern Circuit Tour of Independent Film

Bleacher Boys is the story of five men – who shared a common boyhood dream of growing up and playing major league baseball, each of whose dream was dashed at an early age due to blindness, whose stories differ in detail, yet share that one common element. Their stories unfold in chapters like the innings of a baseball game. Each inning becomes a chapter from their lives as they relate the hardships of overcoming the painful reality of never seeing again and the struggle to create a new dream. All are masterful storytellers whose tales become easy to identify with and whose perseverance one cannot help but admire.
