The Architecture of the Imagination (1994): a series of five ground-breaking films, 30-minutes each. Focusing on key architectural features that we encounter every day, Hillman explores the rich and archetypal ambiguities of such images as The Door, The Staircase, The Window, The Tower and The Bridge. These original, thought-provoking and often humorous films include many examples drawn from the history of art and classic cinema.

Mark Kidel is an award-winning documentary filmmaker, working in France and the UK, and specialising - not exclusively - in music and the arts.

Recent films have included Becoming Cary Grant - which explores the actor’s LSD therapy in the late 1950s, several films about the French artist Fabienne Verdier, the English sculptor Bridget McCrum, and Elvis Costello. He lives in Dorset.
