Buildings sang to him.

At DWR we're very excited about Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman, the new documentary about the noted architectural photographer. We're honored to be able to introduce our audience to the film, which is both a moving biography of a true character, as well as an engaging primer on modernist architecture from the 1930s on. DWR is hosting several talks with Eric Bricker, who directed Visual Acoustics. Bricker spent seven years with Shulman, and knew his subject as a dear friend. In the first of our Q&A sessions, held at the DWR Flatiron Studio in New York, the first-time director shared clips of the film and spoke about his experience working with Shulman in the final years of the photographer's life. Visual Acoustics opens in New York on October 9 at Cinema Village. People in the Los Angeles area will have the chance to meet Bricker at the DWR Beverly Boulevard Studio on October 14 (as a sneak peek just before the film opens there on October 16). Check back here soon for DWR's full review of the engrossing film. Below, Bricker rests post-Q&A in his favorite piece of mid-century modern design, the Eames Lounge and Ottoman.
