Essay: Architecture in Film – A Foundation for Story

March 21, 2016 by Jim Stephenson

With the release of High-Rise, Ben Wheatley’s adaptation of JG Ballard’s novel, the manner in which architecture is used as a cinematic device is in the spotlight again. Through Blade Runner, Rear Window and Inception (spoilers below for all three), via Harry Potter, Star Wars, Alien and The Shining, Miniclick’s resident film writer Gabriel Gane explores some of the most notable occasions in which architecture has played a starring role.

These sorts of collaborations have spawned some of the most exciting bodies of works, personal reactions and experiments in Miniclick’s last five years. With that in mind, and to coincide with the launch of […]
