Finiarchitecture: Director of Finisterre and Saint Etienne team up again

Paul Kelly and Saint Etienne, the team that made Finisterre, are back with a new film called This is Tomorrow. The film will be playing in London on July 11th and July 18th as part of the London Festival of Architecture 2008.

A Southbank Centre commissioned film, This is Tomorrow links the optimism and primary colours of the 1951 Festival Britain with the re-opening in June 2007 of the Royal Festival Hall, the most inspiring building in the country.

Soundtracked by Saint Etienne it is a journey into the past and the future of an internationally renowned and much loved architectural space and its epic refurbishment.

The film features interviews with people who have made major contributions to the site and its architecture, including designer Robin Day, original architects Trevor Dannatt and Jim Cadbury-Brown, Southbank Centre’s current artistic director Jude Kelly, artist Jeremy Deller and author Alain De Botton as well as builders, manufacturers, local residents and Southbank Centre staff.
