E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House by the Sea

2024 / 90 min / Switzerland

Directors: Beatrice Minger and Christoph Schaub

This film is part documentary, part theatre, and 100% fantastic. Written by Beatrice Minger, the film is a portrait of a person whose inner confidence is expressed in her designs and her way of working in the world. This film is timely and timeless.

Tomorrow we move to the Culver Theater in Culver City for a full day of screenings.

12:30pm | Arthur Erickson: Beauty Between the Lines (US Premiere)

2024 / 80 min / Canada

Directors: Ryan Mah, Danny Berish

This Vancouver architect had a global impact– Erickson is the only Canadian to receive the Pritzker Prize. His personal life was kept quiet because, as he said in the 1980s, "being a homosexual was bad for business." His incredible life story and work come together in the directors' first feature-length film, which opened our Canadian festivals.

Q&A with Ryan Mah, Danny Berish, and Leah Malen, moderated by Russell Fortmeyer
