Schindler's Houses Series: Film Comment Selects 2008 [Feb 14 - Feb 28] Director: Heinz Emigholz, Country: Germany, Release: 2007, Runtime: 99 The latest installment of Heinz Emigholz's series of films on "Architecture as Autobiography" consists of audiovisual measurements and cinematic sketches of 40 low-cost houses built by architect Rudolf Schindler in Los Angeles from 1921 to 1952. As always, Emigholz uses his unique eye to make the spatial uniqueness of his subjects materialize on screen. Countering the tendency in architectural photography to portray buildings in their entirety and in isolation, he shoots the grounds and interiors of the houses in sections so as to mimic the way we perceive space cumulatively and according to physical orientation. In so doing he captures Schindler's signature characteristics as they're affected by weather and light conditions. He also zeroes in on the houses' frailties - a crack here, some redecoration there. A meditation on decay, death and transformation, Schindler's Houses is a film of specters: the ghosts of hopes for a different way of life hover all around.
