Cathedrals of Culture, directed by six acclaimed filmmakers including Wim Wenders, is a 3D film project exploring the significance of six iconic buildings. These are the Berlin Philharmonic concert hall in Berlin, Germany; the National Library in St Petersburg, Russia; Halden Prison, the architect-designed prison in Halden, Norway; the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, USA, designed by Louis Khan; the Opera House in Oslo, Norway, and the Richard Rogers-designed Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. Aimed at discovering ‘the soul of buildings’, the film explores a day in the life of each building, in six half-hour shorts, each narrated by the imagined voice of the building. For more information on the film, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival 2014, visit Neue Road Movies.
