detail: Conceived by the Filmmuseum Berlin, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in association with the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles.
The work of production designers, set decorators and film architects results in spaces that allow interplay between the camera and the performers, influence the action and create the cinematic atmosphere. 'Moving Spaces: Production Design + Film," is divided into conceptual areas entitled "Labyrinths," "Private Spaces," "Transit Spaces," "Spaces of Power" and "Stages." These areas group films that have faced similar production design challenges, and illustrate the solutions arrived at by their various designers. The exhibition, originally presented as part of the 2005 Berlin Film Festival, has an equal emphasis on American and European film production. It is a dynamic installation of video clips, documents, photographs, production designs, and set models that illustrate the essential role production design plays in the making of a film. Over 120 designs and drawings by 28 prominent production designers are complemented by video clips from 26 films, and filmed interviews. The list of films represented span from 1919 (THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI) to 2004 (THE TERMINAL). Through April 16th.
