Space and Light

About This Movie

So, 'Space and Light' is a fascinating piece of work by Murray Grigor. It’s this wordless documentary that really delves into the architectural beauty of St. Peter's Seminary, which was a big deal back in '72. The way Grigor captures the interplay between light and the structure is just mesmerizing. You kind of get lost in the atmosphere it creates—there’s this meditative quality to it. The pacing is deliberate, almost like a visual poem. And the focus on Jack Coia’s design, celebrated after he snagged the RIBA Gold Medal, adds a layer of historical significance. It’s not just a look at a building, but a contemplation of space itself. The lack of dialogue really makes you pay attention to the visuals.
