Black Rhino Creative has announced that the documentary feature Arthur Erickson: Beauty Between the Lines from Vancouver-based directors Ryan Mah and Danny Berish will premiere on Knowledge Network Tuesday, February 25th at 9pm and will be available to viewers across Canada for the first time online through Knowledge Network’s streaming service and apps.
Arthur Erickson: Beauty Between the Lines, which has been held over in Vancouver at the VIFF Centre for fourteen weeks, delves into the personal life and work of Arthur Erickson, a visionary architect first in Canada and ultimately across the globe. The film was made with unprecedented access to the Erickson archives and with the full cooperation of the Erickson family making this a “definitive” film about a truly exceptional man. With intimate interviews, unseen archival footage, and an exploration of his architectural masterpieces, the film weaves together the complexities of Erickson’s personal life, his sexuality and his public-facing professional life.
It reveals a man who transcended traditional boundaries, who fused art, culture, and nature and in the process, redefined modern architecture. Beauty Between the Lines explores the impact his relationships had on his work.
Danny Berish and Ryan Mah are award-winning documentary film directors whose credits include the one-hour documentary film for TELUS Outside In, the 6-part series Red Chef Revival, Nude to Me a documentary selected by the Hot Docs Film Festival in 2020, and House Special, a 5-part documentary series.
