The film “Unity Temple” is dedicated to the most famous American architect Frank Lloyd Wright and the restoration of his revolutionary work – Unity Temple from 1910.

The film tells the story of this magnificent architectural work, its restoration, and the incredible and top-notch renovation that has recently been completed.

A dedicated team of historians and experts, including Gunny Harboe, an architect committed to the conservation of world heritage and a collaborator with Shadow Casters at the recently held international symposium “The Future of Contemporary Heritage: Between Preservation and Innovation,” reveals the history of one of Wright’s most innovative buildings that combined his love for architecture with his own spiritual values. Narrated by Brad Pitt, the film takes us through the beauty of this masterpiece with the words of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The film screening is part of the multi-year program Smarter City:

Smarter City is a multi-year project, initiative, and public event (conference, workshop, film screenings, exhibitions) produced and organized by Shadow Casters and associated partners (Urania, Kinoteka, DAZ, Oris – House of Architecture, FRU, Supervizualna, Greta Gallery, Project Wall Newspapers). The aim is to explore various possibilities of the city’s resourcefulness through participatory and collective energy of community and exchange, comparing and contrasting opinions on what we can do today, in a situation of overall impoverishment, media saturation, and lack of social planning, to make the city, by definition a space of community and exchange, smarter, more beautiful to live in, and more useful for all citizens.
