Mario Botta. The Space Beyond
The documentary, directed by Loretta Dalpozzo and Michèle Volontè and produced by Swissbridge Productions, is a unique, in-depth and artistic journey into the work of internationally acclaimed Swiss Architect Mario Botta. The film deep dives into Botta’s ever-growing curiosity and reflections on the contradictions of society through his sacred spaces. Tirelessly passionate, Botta is one of the few architects who has built places of prayer for the three main monotheistic religions. After building many churches, chapels and a synagogue, he is now designing a mosque in Inner Mongolia. Through his thoughts and his interactions with artists, clients as well as family members around the world, the audience travels along with him all the way from Switzerland to Italy and from China to South Korea – catching a glimpse of the man behind the architect.
