Jean Nouvel Documentary Screened at New York Film Festival
The documentary "Jean Nouvel Reflections," directed by Matt Tyrnauer and produced by Altimeter Films, was presented at the New York Film Festival. The 15-minute film follows the French architect on site visits worldwide, including the 53W53 Skyscraper under construction in New York, the Louvre Abu Dhabi with its 180-meter dome, the National Museum of Qatar in Doha, and his Paris studio. Nouvel, who won the Golden Lion at the 2000 Venice Biennale, discusses each project as an adventure and passion. The documentary features contributions from his close collaborators, notably Franco-Lebanese designer Hala Wardé, who has worked with him for over 26 years and recently won the competition for the BeMA – Beirut Museum of Art in Lebanon.
