FREE Campus Screening and Q & A, Thurs. April 5 at 7pm: Urbanized, the Third Documentary in Gary Hustwit's Design Trilogy
To contact us Click HERE
This Design Department-sponsored event isn't getting much attention, but it's a pretty big deal for Design Junkies. Gary Hustwit made two excellent documentaries before this new one, each about different aspects of Design. First, there was Helvetica, a look at the 20th century's most celebrated font. Next was Objectified, which focuses on Industrial Design and the objects we all use every day (like iPods and OXO potato peelers). Both films can be Watched Instantly on Netflix.
Here's what the Urbanized website has to say:
"Urbanized is a feature-length documentary about the design of cities, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain.
Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it? Unlike many other fields of design, cities aren’t created by any one specialist or expert. There are many contributors to urban change, including ordinary citizens who can have a great impact improving the cities in which they live. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world, Urbanized frames a global discussion on the future of cities."
The film will be shown at 7pm in the University Theater, and the event is expected to last until 9:30. Gary Hustwit will answer questions following the screening. The event is free, but they are suggesting that you reserve by going HERE .
Want a taste?
By the way, Hustwit raised some of the money for this project using Kickstarter , the "world's largest funding platform for creative projects." That means it's something you should know about.

Hitchcock's Rear Window in Just Under Three Minutes
To contact us Click HERE
Jeff Desom, a young filmmaker originally from Luxembourg, has created a brilliant two minute and fifty eight second time lapse of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Rear Window. I think it's worth a look. I just wish he'd used more Hitchcockian music.
A higher definition version is available on Desom's Vimeo page . He also has some of his other films posted there. I especially liked a moody music video called Morgenrot.
And HERE is an interview he gave, in which he explains the genesis of the project, as well as how he did it.
Now do YOU have a link to an interesting short film?

Here's what the Urbanized website has to say:
"Urbanized is a feature-length documentary about the design of cities, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. But while some cities are experiencing explosive growth, others are shrinking. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Yet much of the dialogue on these issues is disconnected from the public domain.
Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it? Unlike many other fields of design, cities aren’t created by any one specialist or expert. There are many contributors to urban change, including ordinary citizens who can have a great impact improving the cities in which they live. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world, Urbanized frames a global discussion on the future of cities."
The film will be shown at 7pm in the University Theater, and the event is expected to last until 9:30. Gary Hustwit will answer questions following the screening. The event is free, but they are suggesting that you reserve by going HERE .

By the way, Hustwit raised some of the money for this project using Kickstarter , the "world's largest funding platform for creative projects." That means it's something you should know about.

Hitchcock's Rear Window in Just Under Three Minutes
To contact us Click HERE
Jeff Desom, a young filmmaker originally from Luxembourg, has created a brilliant two minute and fifty eight second time lapse of Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece Rear Window. I think it's worth a look. I just wish he'd used more Hitchcockian music.
A higher definition version is available on Desom's Vimeo page . He also has some of his other films posted there. I especially liked a moody music video called Morgenrot.
And HERE is an interview he gave, in which he explains the genesis of the project, as well as how he did it.
Now do YOU have a link to an interesting short film?
