This Must Be the Place (2022).
The film This Must Be The Place attempts to capture a glimpse of the life of Rudolph Hall—the Yale School of Architecture building. It is built as a personal diary of Rudolph Hall, whose pages have been jumbled, and words scrambled. This Must Be The Place tunes into the complex relationships between the inhabitants and the spaces they inhabit; never quite sure which one is haunting the other. It is a critical commentary on architectural vision and representation, as well as a sincere glimpse at the relational complexities of the personal, the professional, the inside and the out.
The film is structured in five parts: The Pit, The Stair, The Hall, The Studio, The Balcony; only ever showing glimpses of spaces, never an entire image of the building. The last scene is the first to see Rudolph Hall from the outside, and even then fails to see it grounded. Instead, spaceship-like, it reads suspended against a backdrop of ice blue.
