Wim Wenders explores the work and philosophy of Pritzker Prize-winning Swiss architect Peter Zumthor in an immersive documentary about the powerful relationship between people and the places they visit, work in or inhabit. Filmed over more than 14 years and captured through cutting-edge 3D cinematography, the film invites audiences to experience Zumthor’s architectural originals through the eyes of visitors, users, inhabitants or craftspeople – allowing them to walk through these spaces themselves. Journeying from intimate private homes to the monumental new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA in Los Angeles, FROM INSIDE OUT reveals Zumthor’s devotion to craftsmanship and materiality, combined with his profound sense of place. Wenders shows that architecture is not simply about buildings, but about how they shape our emotions, memories and understanding of the world. You’ll walk out with a new understanding of what buildings can mean to you.
