Eiffel's Race to the Top
The Eiffel Tower is the symbol of a major turning point in architectural history, and it owes its existence to a fierce duel between two men. This is the story of the hard-won victory of a visionary over his determined rival. Using 3D recreations, official sources (reports, letters, drawings) and intimate archives obtained from their descendants, this film will bring to life this vertical race through a fresh and visual way to mark the centenary of Eiffel's death.
