If architecture turns you on, then Coast
Modern is house porn.
The documentary, which will have its world premier at DOXA,
explores the art and science, the philosophy and history of West Coast
Modernism. Directed by Vancouverites Michael Bernard and Gavin Froome,
it takes us beyond Frank Lloyd Wright and Arthur Erickson to the
kids-and-crayons lives of the families who inhabit their homes. While
some enthusiasts liken it (fondly) to a washing machine, others compare
it to a spaceship, and still others call it a beautiful failure, one
thing is for certain: modern architecture with its propensity for fusing
indoor and outdoor space is especially beautiful amidst the rain and
evergreens of the Pacific Northwest. Kelsey Dundon
