from Backdrop to Stardom poster
Digital illustrations – A collection of over 60 curated artworks in 10 digital galleries, spanning a mix of architecture themes, film genres, directors and eras.
Memories of far-away places from our favorite films remain with us all our lives, imprinted in our heads, engrained in our hearts.
“From Backdrop to Stardom: How Movies Create Memorable Spaces” offers fresh insights into the symbiotic relationships among architecture, cinema, environment and behavior. Here background becomes foreground, and buildings, spaces and places shoot their way to stardom.
Curated by Kathryn Anthony and Manal Anis, this digital exhibit of over 60 artworks created by architect/artists, one of the first of its kind, highlights 10 architectural themes, spanning a variety of film genres, directors and eras. As a novel form of artistic expression, these groundbreaking images broaden the dialogue between film and architecture.
Travel with us to see the magic of movies in a new light.
