This year marks the fourth partnership between the International Festival of Films on Art (FIFA) and Concordia University. The festival, which runs from March 14 to 24, features a number of screenings at the J.A. DeSève Cinema on the Sir George Williams Campus.
The first screening, in anticipation of the 31st edition of FIFA, is of Fallingwater: Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterwork.
Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in rural southwestern Pennsylvania and it’s listed among Smithsonian's Life List of 28 places "to visit before you die." Built directly over a waterfall for the family of industrialist, Edgar J. Kauffmann, this amazing vacation home is a model of complete harmonious integration with nature.
Directed by Kenneth Love, the film includes rare home-movie footage of Wright and his patrons and will be screened Friday, March 8.
