The documentary Visual Acoustics is narrated by Dustin Hoffman
and explores the monumental career of architectural photographer Julius Shulman, who died on July 15, 2009 at the age of 99.
Shulman combined the organic with the synthetic and captured the essence of urban design and nature in his photographs. His images helped shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century, including Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler, Pierre Koening, John Lautner, and many others.
The film's narrative is built from a blend of Shulman's own images as well as in-depth interviews with architect Frank Gehry, designer Tom Ford, artist Ed Ruscha, actress Kelly Lynch, writer Mitch Glazer, publisher Benedikt Taschen, Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti and a host of others.
