Tuesday, we continue our series on documentary film with a profile of the father of modern industrial design, Dieter Rams. He may not be a household name, but Rams' design philosophy has helped shape many everyday items.
Tuesday, we continue our Through the Lens series with a documentary about the father of modern industrial design, Dieter Rams. While Rams may not be a household name, his influence can be seen in a lot of everyday household items, from calculators and electric razors to coffeemakers and radios. His mantra is simple: Less but better. Director Gary Hustwit’s film is a portrait of the iconic designer. It’s also an exploration of modern consumerism, sustainability, and the future of the things we use.
On Wednesday, November 7, RadioWest and the Utah Film Center will present a free screening of Gary Hustwit's documentary film Rams as part of our Through the Lens series. It's at 7:00 p.m. at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Hustwit will be there for a Q&A after the screening. Seating is limited, so get there early. You can get more information, and invite your friends, through our Facebook event.
