Wim Wenders brings together six acclaimed filmmakers, including Robert Redford, Michael Glawogger and Michael Madsen who each bring their own artistic approach to allow six iconic buildings.

A fantastic directorial project about the effects and meaning of architecture opens City Visions, with artists focusing on the Berlin Philharmonic, the National Library of Russia, Norway's Halden Prison, the Salk Institute of California, the Oslo Opera House and the Centre Pompidou in Paris - and letting them speak for themselves. 

Cathedrals of Culture takes the viewer on a beguiling trip, exploring how each of these landmarks reflect our cultures and aspirations.
