Pollack Does Gehry

Using a mini-DVD camera Sydney Pollack has made a documentary of architect Frank Gehry. “After many offers from various Canadian, American and British filmmakers, Frank Gehry’s decision to ask Sydney Pollack to consider directing such a documentary occurred when he realized that the filmmaker had taken the best photos of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. At first, Pollack didn’t want the job. ‘I didn’t feel literate as a documentarian. I certainly didn’t feel literate architecturally — this would be a really dumb thing for me to do’.”
