Synopsis

Swiss architect and artist Robert Maillart was known for his concrete bridges; this documentary explores the elegant design of his engineering works, which the film presents as combining functionality and aesthetics. Departing from a conventional journalistic format, director Heinz Emigholz's film takes on a more poetic visual style, letting the beauty of Maillart's structures convey their significance.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
