Antonio Somaini
Glass cinema and architecture: utopias and dystopias
The lesson builds upon an unrealised project of Russian director Sergej M. Ejzenštejn: a film called Glass House, which was supposed to be shot inside the fully transparent space of a glass skyscraper, thereby showing the perverse effects of a social life led in a condition of absolute transparency.

Antonio Somaini is Tenured Professor of Film Theory, Media and Visual Culture at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3.
