SCHINDLER'S HOUSES (Schindlers Häuser) Heinz Emigholz, A 2006, 99 min

Architecture as Autobiography – Rudolph M. Schindler (1887-1953)

Photography and beyond – Part 12

SCHINDLER’S HOUSES shows forty buildings by the Austro-American architect Rudolph Schindler from the years 1931 to 1952. Schindler’s pioneering work in Southern California is the cornerstone of a branch of modern architecture. All the material for the film was shot in May 2006. The film is thus an up-to-date portrait of urban life in Los Angeles that has never been documented in this form before.

Press Coverage

Packed houses at the Heinz Emigholz’s marvelously spare documentary SCHINDLER’S HOUSES, in which a series of static images of forty homes designed by modernist architect Rudolph Schindler had the cumulative effect of becoming one of the most compelling textural portraits of urban Los Angeles ever filmed.
