Sydney Pollack directed Sketches of Frank Gehry, a documentary about the life and work of the Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry.
The film was screened out of competition at the 2006 Cannes Film Fest.
Pollack and Gehry had been friends and mutual admirers for years.
The film features footage of various Gehry-designed buildings, including Anaheim Ice (the training rink of the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim), the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
It was the final film to be directed by Sydney Pollack before his death in 2008, at age 73.
The film includes interviews with other noted figures.
The film also discusses work on Gehry’s own residence, which was one of the first works that brought him to notoriety.
