- DirectorAimee S. MadsenStarsPaolo SoleriPeter CoyoteTim BrinduseBeyond Form is a cinéma vérité style documentary, that presents a fresh and intimate look at the legendary and multi talented artist, philosopher, urban theorist and architect Paolo Soleri. A man who had a dream to create an environment in harmony with man. This film focuses on how his body of work has inspired thousands of people over the years and why his technique and concepts have staying power. You'll see why Soleri was green before "green" and "sustainable" ever entered the world lexicon. The lean approach has been a theme that was present through out Soleri's life. Filmmaker Aimee Madsen created this documentary much in the spirit of Soleri's style of frugality, doing more with less.
- DirectorLisa ScafuroStarsPaolo SoleriJp WhiteAble AldyA biographical documentary on the architect and environmentalist Paolo Soleri. It is the story of an unprecedented artistic quest. Born in Torino, Italy in 1919, Soleri came to America in 1946 to mentor under Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin West, Arizona. After one and a half years, Soleri left Wright to embark on a blazing original course of his own. While uncovering Soleri's legacy as an architect, environmentalist, and philosopher, the film will pose critical questions about mankind's future, and architecture in a world facing environmental, social, and economic crisis. Few architects have proposed more ambitious design, and been less prone to compromise.
