Documentary "Volume Zero" Celebrates Charles Correa

Arun Khopkar has created a feature on Taubman alumnus Charles Correa. The documentary, an hour-long film on Correa's architecture, is called Volume Zero: The Work of Charles Correa. The Times of India published an article about Correa and Volume Zero on September 5, 2008.

Khopkar's documentary is a cinematic tour of some of Correa's best work. "I'm interested in the relationship between architecture and cinema," says the film-maker who has previously documented Jehangir Sabavala's art and Alarmel Valli's Bharatanatyam. "With each location there is a specific problem with how to make the location come alive." The first Correa building he came across was the Gandhi Smarak Sangrahalaya in Ahmedabad 20 years ago. It's a large airy structure built around a courtyard, a feature that Correa repeats in many of his later buildings. In the film, Khopkar recalls feeling "the rhythms of its spaces" and noting how "it responded to changing lights."
