Architecture professor's work inspires film

Tuesday, June 14, 2022

A new short film inspired by the work of a Waterloo School of Architecture professor is now available online.

Philip Beesley worked on the film entitled Cradle with Warren du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones, who are both based in London, England, and Salvador Breed, who is based in Amsterdam.

A media release on Cradle's premiere said that the film evokes the birth of life on earth.

“Within an astral, Arh a child-like being emerges, reflecting the fundamental journey from death into new life,” the news release said.

Last year, an extended, immersive version of Cradle accompanied Beesley's installation called Grove exhibited at the 2021 Biennale of Architecture in Venice.
