Film By Design

The 10th Annual By Design film festival opens tonight at the Northwest Film Forum. By Design is a beloved local institution that explores the intersection between design and the moving image. The programs have always presented breathtaking new work alongside unearthed treasures from the past, and this year continues that worthy trend. Highlights of the 2010 series include a documentary on the British-based art collective The Light Surgeons on March 6; a presentation by film curator Peter Lucas on the history of movie title sequences on March 7; and no less than FOUR different programs of short films by Charles and Ray Eames.
