ARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVESWHO DARESWINS:ZAHA HADID2013, DIRECTORS: LINDSEY HANLONAND ROGER PARSONS, 75 MINCATHEDRALS OFCULTURE — 3D2014, 158 MIN — 6 x 26 MINA sumptuous film event that captures thesoul of buildings. Cathedrals of Cultureunites six acclaimed directors and six narrators from six countries in one creativeensemble that asks: if buildings could talk,what would they say about us?‘Without that element of uncertainty, thatsensation of travelling into the unknown,there would be no progress.’——Zaha HadidIn the last 30 years, Zaha Hadid has gonefrom paper architect to global megastar.This BBC production, fronted by AlanYentob, tells Hadid’s improbable success story.The film reveals the childhood of Baghdadborn Hadid in the 1950s and 1960s,her education in London during 1970sunder the mentorship of Rem Koolhausat the Architectural Association School ofArchitecture and her unstoppable trajectoryto global success. She launched her ownLondon-based practice in 1979 with fourstaff. She now has 400.Touring the globe from Austria to Azerbaijan,the viewer gets to soak in Hadid’s astonishing, gravity-defying work and recognise hersignature concrete forms.We also hear of the tenacity, courage, hardwork — and infamous ego — that has madeher what she is today: the most successfulfemale architect there has ever been.AKLWGTNDUNCHCHFri 8 May, 6:30 PM / Sat 9 May, 3:15 PMTue 12 May, 10:15 AM / Fri 15 May, 5:30 PMFri 29 May, 5:15 PM / Thu 4 Jun, 2:00 PMSat 13 Jun, 8:30 PM / Tue 16 Jun, 10:00 AMSat 20 Jun, 11:45 AMFri 26 Jun, 1:15 PM / Sat 4 Jul, 7:45 PMARCHITECTURAL PERSPECTIVESPRECISE POETRY /LINA BO BARDI’SARCHITECTURE2013, DIRECTOR: BELINDA RUKSCHCIO,54 MIN, WITH SUBTITLESA Portuguese-language film about reveredItalian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi.Six iconic and very different buildings areexplored, with each filmmaker bringing theirown visual style and approach to the project.Buildings, we see, are material manifestations of human thought and action: theBerlin Philharmonic, an icon of modernity;the National Library of Russia, a kingdom ofthoughts; Halden Prison, the world’s mosthumane prison; the Salk Institute (narratedby Robert Redford), an institute for breakthrough science; the Oslo Opera House,a futuristic symbiosis of art and life; and theCentre Pompidou, a modern culturemachine. Cathedrals of Culture explores howeach of these landmarks reflect our cultureand guard our collective memory.You will have just one wish: to pass throughthe screen and enter the stunning depthsthat the filmmakers have created.‘When you make a poem, it is precise, andit is perfect. A poem does not have uselesswords, phrases or verses. And as far asLina was concerned,’ recalls a closecolleague, ‘architecture should be like this:it should have the precision and concisenessof poetry.’Lina Bo Bardi was outspoken, prolific andcommitted in her pursuit of realising thecultural potential of architecture and design.She was also celebrated for her reductive,elegant furniture designs, for spaces suchas the São Paulo Museum of Art.Marking what would have been her 100thbirthday, Bo Bardi’s colleagues and friendsrecount the sociopolitical constraints andpersonal events that would lead to theimpact and timelessness of her work. Thiscinematic journey through her most important architectural projects in São Paulo andSalvador da Bahia poses the question ofwhat remains of a person in the work theyleave behind.BERNARDES2014, DIRECTORS: PAULO DE BARROSAND GUSTAVO GAMA RODRIGUES,92 MIN, WITH SUBTITLESTrace the rise and fall of prominent andprolific 1960s Brazilian architect SergioBernardes through an incredible story ofarchitecture, family, history and politics.A contemporary of Oscar Nieymeyer,Bernardes was well known in Rio’s elitesocial circles for his elegant, upper classhouses, as well as his infamous womanising.This documentary investigates the series ofevents that led to his eventual anonymity atthe time of his death in 2002.A true modernist, known for his use of steelframing and concrete, Bernardes designedhis first house when he was fifteen —6000 other buildings followed that.Told through a series of interviews withclose family, friends and colleagues, andquestioned with genuine curiosity fromBernardes’ grandson Thiago. Bernardesuncovers the truth about the architect,a playboy mid-century design star whobecame a radical futurist innovator andeven ran for mayor, his controversial ideaseventually leaving him bankrupt andforgotten, until now.3D pricing applies.*Conversation hosted by NZIA.**Opening night screenings of Bernardesinclude a glass of wine and light snacks —screening commences 45 min after start time.AKLAKLAKLFri 8 May, 8:00 PM / Sun 10 May, 3:15 PMThu 14 May, 10:15 AM / Sat 16 May, 5:30 PMWGTNDUNCHCHFri 8 May, 10:30 AM / *Mon 11 May, 7:00 PMFri 15 May, 2:15 PM / Sat 16 May, 4:15 PMSat 30 May, 2:45 PM / *Mon 1 Jun, 5:00 PMFri 5 Jun, 4:00 PMSat 13 Jun, 2:30 PM / Tue 16 Jun, 7:15 PMThu 18 Jun, 10:00 AM / Sat 20 Jun, 5:15 PMMon 29 Jun, 6:30 PM / Mon 6 Jul 1:15 PMWGTNDUNCHCH**Thu 7 May, 5:45 PM / Sat 9 May, 1:15 PMMon 11 May, 5:15 PM / Fri 15 May, 7:00 PM**Thu 28 May, 5:45 PM / Mon 1 Jun, 3:15 PMThu 4 Jun, 5:15 PM**Thu 11 Jun, 5:45 PM / Sun 14 Jun, 3:00 PMThu 18 Jun, 6:30 PM / Sat 20 Jun, 1:15 PM**Thu 25 Jun, 5:15 PM / Sun 5 Jul, 2:30 PM

The house was the first ina string of mid-century modernist residential,civic, educational and institutional icons thatstill define the look and feel of the CoachellaValley, including Crafton Hills College,Palm Springs Desert Museum and Santa FeFederal Savings & Loan.Williams’ organic modernism embracednatural materials and location.

Designed in the Czech Republicin 1928/30 by Mies van der Rohe, it represents the social utopian aspiration of thearchitect and the open-minded upper-classlife of his clients, Grete and Fritz Tugendhat.Interweaving conversations with family,former users of the house, art historians andrestorers, together with historical photos andfilms, the unique and thoroughly engagingstory of this building and its inhabitants isrevealed. We learn of the spirit of optimismin the prosperous Western Moravia betweenthe world wars, the occupation by NaziGermany, the forced displacement andemigration of the Tugendhat family,of the first postwar years and of the manydecades afterwards.It’s also about avant-gardists and marauders,philanthropists and bureaucrats, visionariesand apparatchiks; about injustice, indifference, misappropriation, demolition andconservation; about small victories andbig defeats.But this is not just the history of a remarkable building.

The neons were intended toconvey a sense of modernity and progress ina country cut off from the West. Socialistendorsed, they nevertheless mimicked thecolour, dazzle and glamour of postwarcapitalist cities.With shops frequently empty and brandsand services state run, Neons were not seenas advertising but rather as part of the urbanlandscape — navigational landmarks andpart of the city’s identity. ‘The vitality ofWarsaw came from movement and light,from the sense of its changefulness —dancing neon signs brought that energyto the city’, an historian observes.Do you remember the energy andexcitement of watching your favourite bandplay a live show?Just Like Being There is an intimate lookinto gig poster artists and the momentsand feelings they capture with their incredible artwork.Breaking the hobbyist stereotype, Makerdelves deep into this ecosystem of designand manufacturing in the Internet era.The film explores the ideas, tools, andpersonalities that are driving the MakerMovement — and returns with a timely snapshot of one of the transforming influences ofthe current age.WGTNDUNCHCHMon 11 May, 2:30 PM / Thu 14 May, 8:30 PMSat 16 May, 10:45 AMTue 2 Jun, 3:45 PM / Sun 7 Jun, 7:30 PMSun 14 Jun, 12:15 PM / Wed 17 Jun, 10:15 AMSun 21 Jun, 8:30 PMSun 5 Jul, 1:15 PMAs we spend more time with these tight-knitcommunities, we realise that their work isbased on a pure love for music, film andartistic expression.

Review of Contract The contract between the City of Dunedin (City) and the Pinellas County Sheriff (Sheriff) appears to be a valid and binding contract, containing all the recitations necessary to accomplish its purposes. Nevertheless, some sections of the contract merit further discussion.

Otago Regional Council water table monitoring in South Dunedin since mid-2009 has indicated that the water table height is under the direct influence of climate and mean sea level, plus the fortuitous drainage provided by the area's storm and wastewater drains.
