As part of the MA Architectural Visualisation, students have been engaged in the module AR821: FIlm & Architecture. This year, as part of the programme, Programme Director, Howard Griffin along with his students have hosted a number of film screenings.
These screenings include:
- Koyaanisqatsi
- Blade Runner
- The Third Man
- Play Time
- Akira
- Collateral
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- Rear Window
- Inception
In addition to these films, students have also been studying and comparing other films, such as Minority Report, Sin City, Brazil, Wall.E, Dirty Harry and Gattaca.
The final film screening takes place this evening at 5.30 pm, which will explore the architecture of Stanley Kubrick with his iconic film, The Shining (1980). Please feel free to join us in MLT2 to listen to my students present their research about this and other Kubrick films in the context of architecture.
