# Spots in Shots: Narrating the Built Environment in Short Film - Hardcover

by **Melanie Van Der Hoorn** (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

_Spots in Shots_ explores a selection of little-known but fascinating short films made in Europe and the US between 1990 and 2017 that tell stories about architecture and urban development. Based on interviews with the filmmakers, the book asks how cinema can stir public interest in the oeuvres of architects.

Among the numerous cinematic gems discussed here are John Smith's _Blight_ (1996); Kibwe Tavares and Factory Fifteen's _Jonah_ (2012); Assembly Studios' _Fort Dunlop Green_ (2004); The Neighbourhood's _Saxton Leeds_ (2008); Imagen Subliminal's _El Espinar House_ (2013); Squint/Opera's _Post Barnsley (2003); Jem Cohen & Luc Sante's _Le bled (Buildings in a Field)_ (2009); Gabriel Kogan & Pedro Kok's _Casa Redux_ (2014); and Jordi Bernad & 15-L Films' _Hic Sunt Leones_ (2013).
