Concert of Wills: Building The Getty Center
a film by Susan Froemke, Albert Maysles & Bob Eisenhardt

Synopsis:
Filmed over the course of twelve years, CONCERT OF WILLS chronicles the conception, construction and completion of the most eagerly anticipated architectural undertaking of the 20th century. The film offers a rare look at a creative process in action, where different aesthetic philosophies meet head on and are passionately defended.

Reviews:
"This massive undertaking is enhanced by the clever editing and a superior musical underscore by Joel Goodman."
- Irv Letofsky, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, December 16-22, 1997

"Fascinating throughout, both for the ultimate beauty and scope of the project, and for the ability to watch grown and successful men protect their turf from one another and from the Philistines without."
- Todd Everett, VARIETY, December 15,1997

"Mesmerizing, artful. You needn't be art-smart to get a big kick out of CONCERT OF WILLS and its spirit of openness. (Its) ultimate achievement is in capturing the creative process - at once torturous and exhilarating - through which the container emerges as art along with the contents."
- Howard Rosenberg, LOS ANGELES TIMES, December 17, 1997

"Itself a fine and painstaking work of art (it) conveys the tension and drama of creation."
- Lawrence Van Gelder, THE NEW YORK TIMES, August 26, 1998

Awards:
Best Reporting Prize, Montreal Festival of Films on Art 1998
