7 Chapels + Q and A

Architecture and portrait photographers Jens Weber and Orla Connolly joined forces with composer Wolfram Oettl to create a non-narrative documentary contemplating architecture. A meticulous visual study of seven chapels in the Swabian Danube Valley, commissioned by The Siegfried & Elfriede Denzel Foundation and built by seven architects: John Pawson, Hans Engel, Wilhelm Huber, Frank Lattke, Alen Jasarevic, Staab Architects, and Christoph Mäckler. The filmmaker’s distinctive approach to the buildings, and rigorous aesthetic sensibilities creates a space for contemplation of the architecture; long takes underpinned by Oettl’s meditative piano score combine to create a truly transcendent experience.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Orla Connolly, Jens Weber, and composer Wolfram Oettl, moderated by Dr Carole Pollard.
