Angle of Inspiration: The Sundial Bridge at 20!
Like other grand works of public art, Santiago Calatrava’s Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay has generated both awe and opposition – and changed the image of the town of Redding. On July 4th, 2004, the $23 million pedestrian bridge opened to the public, a gift of The McConnell Foundation to the community. Angle of Inspiration documents the process of turning an architect’s vision into a one-of-a-kind bridge, and the process of creating a new center of town: connecting the two sides of the river, and stirring the passions of every resident. An interview with Calatrava, the architect of the train station at Ground Zero and the Olympic Village in Athens, anchors the documentary. Jill Eikenberry (LA Law) narrates. Original music by Jon Herbst.
Come join us as we celebrate 20 years of the Sundial Bridge and the Cascade Theatre! The showing of Angle of Inspiration was one of the first events held at the newly restored art deco masterpiece, Redding’s Historic Non-Profit Cascade Theatre.
