Mar 07 - Mar 09, 2010
(Charles and Ray Eames, USA, 1953-72, Beta-SP, 65 min)
This selection of short films by influential designers/filmmakers Charles and Ray Eames focuses on their exploration of concepts of communication, science and new technologies.
The program features rarely seen films, including A Communications Primer (1953); House Of Science (1962/64; a composite of multi-screen projections at the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair); and View from the People Wall (1965; presented at the New York World's Fair as the multi-screen film, Think). And of course, in our tenth year, we just had to include their classic film Powers of Ten (1977).
