Eames: The Architect and The Painter Film Trailer
The husband and wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America’s most important
The husband and wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America’s most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products – from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multimedia exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life – from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age – has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work. An officially opening is set for November 18 at the IFC Center in New York City, with further play dates offered here.
