Beach House takes as its object the unique example of a rural modernist dwelling, built on the coast of Suffolk, England, by the architect John Penn. The film explores the convergence between architectural and filmic language by combining 16mm archival footage taken by Penn himself after the house was completed, his experimental sound recordings from the same period, and footage shot in the house over a period of time. year in 2015. This set of materials invites the viewer to reconstruct the house in both its past and present forms. -Emily Richardson
