The 2013-2014 MODTriangle Architecture Movie Series concludes on Wednesday, February 5, at the Raleigh Grande Cinema with a special screening of “Lioness Among Lions: The Architect Zaha Hadid.”

Winner of the prestigious Pritzker prize in 2004 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2009, Zaha Hadid, an English-Iraqi architect and designer, has long been a controversial figure. The film, first released in 2010, spotlights her visionary achievements around the world, including the MAXXI contemporary art museum in Rome, the CMA-CGM tower in Marseille, the Guangzhou Opera, and a performing arts center in Abu Dhabi.

“Lioness Among Lions” also provides an overview of Hadid’s projects and features commentaru by Tom Krens of the Guggenheim Foundation, architect Patrick Schumacher, photographer Hélène Binet, publisher Francesco Dalco, and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.

Hosted by North Carolina Modernist Houses (NCMH) and sponsored by Sarah Sonke of MODTriangle Real Estate and Auctions, the film begins at 7:30 p.m.

VMZINC, the Contemporary Art Museum, Kontek, and Alison Steele of A+S Design have sponsored the entire movie series. BuildSense is sponsoring the “Lioness Among Lions” screening.
