| Synopsis
Joseph Hillel's new documentary explores how four trailblazing architects have helped transform our cities. Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown have collaborated with some of the leading figures in architecture, from Le Corbusier to Louis Kahn and Mies van der Rohe, while finding their own voices in this male-dominated profession. Through interviews, archival material and stunning cinematography, Hillel uncovers how each of these independent thinkers has been working, observing and thinking about the transformations shaping the city of today and tomorrow. Watch the Trailer Reviews "Beautifully shot...invaluable." - The Globe and Mail "Inspiring! A love-letter to the field of architecture itself."- In The Seats "City Dreamers should be required viewing for anyone interested in city planning, urban development, or understanding why preserving neighborhoods is so important. It’s a pleasure to spend time with the women and learn from their experiences." - The Gate Disc Features Bonus materials Conversations with Denise Scott Brown: “My Pritzker” & “Nowhere Stairs” Links See details about this film's theatrical run.
