Some of the world's most stunning structures, interiors, and parks were created by Catalan architect Antoni Gaud (1852-1926); some of the world's most visually adventurous films were made by Japanese director Hiroshi Teshigahara throughout the second half of the twentieth century.

In Antoni Gaud, directed by Teshigahara, audiences are taken on a visual tour of some of the world's most stunning architecture, including Gaud's huge, still-unfinished masterwork, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona. The film is less a documentary and more of a visual poem. To capture Gaud's organic surfaces on film, Teshigahara employs camerawork that is as strong and sensual as the curves that adorn his subject's body.
