Temptation of Influence, 2025. Feature documentary film. 44 min.


Score by Chantal Michelle

Directed by Marko Milovanovic in collaboration with Paolo Barkett


Temptation of Influence is a filmic collage and essay exploring how architectural ideas are passed down, reinterpreted and – inevitably – misread across generations. Centred on the work of Irish architect Shane de Blacam (de Blacam and Meagher Architects), the film is the outcome of a fellowship awarded to Milovanovic in 2024 by the Royal Academy of Arts and Architecture at the Edge.

The microcosm of Shane’s study in Dublin, where the walls are lined with plates from Palladio’s Four Books of Architecture, framing a few drawings by his friend and teacher Louis Kahn, becomes the film’s point of departure and a guidebook of sorts. From there, the journey unfolds across landscapes, buildings and voices, reframing how influence moves through memory, encounter and place.


 Supported by the Royal Academy of Arts, Architecture at the Edge, the British Council, the Arts Council of Ireland and the AA School.
