Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman (5/12)


VISUAL ACOUSTICS, 2008, 84 min. Dir. Eric Bricker. Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, this unique film celebrates the life and career of photographer Julius Shulman. Shulman, who died in 2009, captured the work of nearly every major modern and progressive architect since the 1930s, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry. Both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images

This Wednesday (5/12), the Egyptian Theater will be screening this documentary followed by a Q&A with director Eric Bricker. Event starts at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $11 general / $10 KCRW members / $9 seniors & students / $8 American Cinematheque members.

Then on Saturday (5/15), the American Cinematheque and the Modern Committee of the Los Angeles Conservancy will host a private cocktail party and a tour of Julius Shulman's home. This benefit will include a silent auction as well as guest speakers. The event is $125 and limited people. Info here.
