| THE FILMS OF CHARLES & RAY EAMES, VOLUME 1: POWERS OF TEN
Plus 901: AFTER 45 YEARS OF WORKING (a film by Eames Demetrios)
Charles and Ray Eames are among the finest American designers of the 20th century. The legacy of this husband and wife team includes more than 75 films that reflect the breath and depth of their interests and the integrity of their vision.
POWERS OF TEN takes us on an adventure in magnitudes. Starting at a picnic by the lakeside in Chicago, this famous film transports us to the outer edges of the universe. Every ten seconds we view the starting point from ten times farther out until our own galaxy is visible only as a speck of light among many others. Returning to Earth with breathtaking speed, we move inward - into the hand of the sleeping picknicker - with ten times more magnification every ten seconds. Our journey ends inside a proton carbon atom within a DNA molecule in a white blood cell.
This DVD also includes the original version of POWERS OF TEN as well as 901: After 45 Years Of Working (a film by Eames Demetrios).
