Rating: - An extraordinarily beautiful and well-crafted film
Charles and Ray Eames are among the finest American designers of this century. They are best known for their ground-breaking contributions to architecture, furniture design (the Eames Chair), industrial design and manufacturing, and the photographic arts.
The legacy of this husband and wife team includes more than 75 films that reflect the breadth and depth of their interests and the integrity of their vision. Volume 3 is a part of a video collection of these classic films.
All three films on Volume 3 grew out of the remarkable exhibition "The World of Franklin and Jefferson," designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the celebration of America's Bicentennial.
The first film, "The World of Franklin and Jefferson," uses the lives of Franklin and Jefferson as prisms through which to evoke colonial America. With a dynamic timeline and a wealth of images drawn from architecture, science, and politics, the film brings alive the way American history shaped, and was shaped by, these two men. Benjamin Franklin, standing for the best in colonial wisdom, and Thomas Jefferson, representing the opportunities and ambitions of a new nation, together offer a compelling approach to this richly textured era. Also on this volume: "The Franklin and Jefferson Proposed Film" and "The Opening of an Exhibition," showing the Paris opening of this incredible exhibit.
Introduction narrated by Gregory Peck.
