libertangoI present to you The Third & The Seventh, a completely computer-generated 12-minute film by Alex Roman.
Honestly. Even if you rarely watch embedded videos, you should see this one for the sheer verisimilitude. Yes, the image you see below in the thumbnail -- Louis Kahn's parliament building in Dhaka, Bangladesh -- is not a photograph.
For those who absolutely cannot watch video online, stills are available at the website for the film.
EDITED TO ADD: Now that I've seen the thing all the way through (I felt it was good enough to jump the gun, earlier):
* The cubical space with the circular concrete cutouts? That's Kahn's library for Phillips Exeter Academy. So having books flying around in it is sly.
* Lifting Nyman's score for Gattaca is a nice touch.
* One can't help thinking of Ron Fricke's IMAX film Chronos with some of the time lapse effects being used.
