The Gamble House
Director: Don Hahn
2017 / 58 min / USA
The Gamble House is the incredible story of brothers Charles and Henry Greene who were pushed by their forceful father into a career in architecture only to design and build the most seminal and stunning Arts & Crafts house in America. The house, however, did not come without its price, both personally and professionally, for the Greene brothers, and for David and Mary Gamble who commissioned it. It’s a tale of American craftsmanship, international influence, artistic frustration, loss and triumph, which led to the completion of one of the shining examples of American architecture, known to fans of Back to the Future as Doc Brown’s house, and fans of architecture simply as The Gamble House.

Before Design: Classic
Director: Matteo Garrone
2016 / 7 min / Italy
This short film, set in a fascinating and magical place, portrays classic style with a fresh eye and an unconventional approach and successfully conveys the idea of enduring beauty that survives to be passed down over the ages. Indeed the “heroes” of the film are several children chosen to represent small custodians of taste who retrieve and preserve precious articles of furniture, saving them for the future.
