(running time: 90 min., 16mm/35mm)

Two of the few artists with an entire “era” named after them, Charles and Ray Eames were best known for their industrial design, but they also had a prolific career making classroom and industrial films for companies like IBM and Polaroid. Their films show a canny knack for conveying dense ideas with elegance, and clarity. Program includes: POWERS OF TEN (1977); HOUSE (1955); KALEIDOSCOPE JAZZ CHAIR (1960); IBM AT THE FAIR (1965); ALPHA (1972); TOCCATA FOR TOY TRAINS (1957); and the documentary 901: AFTER 45 YEARS OF WORKING (Eames Demetrios, US 1990, 28 min.), plus some surprises.
