Robert Redford is the latest Director to join the ranks of 3D filmmaking. He will direct and executive produce one of 6 documentaries in the Wim Wenders 3D series ‘Cathedrals of Culture’ which will be distributed globally.
Redford’s film will be dedicated to the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, a building by architect Louis Kahn. Edward Lachman A.S.C. is cinematographer. His episode will be produced by Sundance Productions (New York) and Radical Media (New York) in partnership with Neue Road Movies (Berlin).
“The Salk Institute has spoken to me since I first laid eyes on it,” said Redford. “The result of a collaboration between an artist and a scientist, it epitomizes a design that understands how dramatically creativity drives discovery,” he continued “Produced in 3D, each 26-minute episode of the series will contribute to the development of 3D as a new visual language,” says Wenders.
“I’m utterly happy and excited to welcome Robert Redford as one of the fellow directors for our series,” Wenders continued.
“The six of us will each dedicate all our attention, craft and art to an outstanding building, not only trying to uncover its soul, but also making the best possible use of this wonderful new tool we’ve been given: 3D.” Wim Wenders commented.
