Mendelsohn's Incessant Visions

2012       Golden Award (FILAF d'OR) Festival International du Livre d'Art et du Film
2012       Best Documentary "Icons and Heroes" Documentary Edge New Zealand
2011       Honorable Mention, Jerusalem Film Festival

This award-winning creative homage, illuminates the life of German Jewish Expressionist architect Erich Mendelsohn. The visionary Mendelsohn, a contemporary of Walter Gropius and Miese van der Rohe, produced works that have influenced generations of architects. His story unfolds through the letter exchange with Louise, a beautiful young cellist , who became his wife. Duki Dror gently breathes life into the correspondence of two passionate artists who helped each other weather a turbulent time in  history. Mendelsohn’s career followed the jagged trajectory of many German Jewish émigrés fleeing Nazism; he worked in England, Israel and finally, in the USA. Mendelsohn’s drawings pulsate with energy and his buildings are stunning. His earlier work, the Einstein Tower, is one of the most important exemplars of modern architecture. Dror deftly juxtaposes the architect’s original designs with contemporary images, weaving in reflections from architects and locals who use these unique buildings today - a testament to the integrity and timelessness of his visionary design.  71 Minutes.
