Vincent Scully: An Art Historian Among Architects

Citizen Architect - Samuel Mockbee And The Spirit Of The Rural Studio
Director - Sam Wainwright Douglas
Hale County, Alabama is home to some of the most impoverished communities in the U.S. It is also home to Auburn University’s Rural Studio, one of the most prolific and inspirational design-build outreach programs ever established. Citizen Architect is a documentary film chronicling the late Samuel Mockbee -- artist, architect, educator, and founder of the Rural Studio.
The Desert Castle
Directed by Eirin Gjørv
A brand new capital – in the middle of the desert! And an iconic building – a Taj Mahal or a Sydney Operahouse, that will be the gateway to the city and a symbol to the entire world!
In this film we follow the Norwegian Architectural firm Snøhetta and its director Kjetil Thorsen in their bid for adventurous and ground-breaking architectural challenges in the Arab sands of Ras Al Khaimah.
