Art + Design

October 31, 2013

In this new section, we present seven films engaging with artists, including the world premiere of Men of the Cloth (dir. Vicki Vasilopoulos) which looks at master tailors whose craft is in danger of vanishing; and the US premiere of Grey City (Cidade Cinza) (dirs. Marcelo Mesquita & Guilherme Valiengo) which explores the work of renowned graffiti artists Os Gêmeos, Nunca, and Nina.

Three NYC premieres: Magical Universe (dir. Jeremy Workman) takes us inside the world of an outsider artist who builds Barbie doll dioramas. Levitated Mass: The Story of Michael Heizer’s Monolithic Sculpture (dir. Doug Pray) chronicles the artist Michael Heizer’s attempt to transport a 340-ton boulder for an installation. In No Great Hurry: 13 Lessons in Life with Saul Leiter (dir. Tomas Leach) profiles one of the pioneers of the New York school of photography from the ‘40s and ‘50s.

If You Build It (dir. Patrick Creadon) documents the impact of a design class in an impoverished North Carolina town.

Tiny: A Story About Living Small (dir. Merete Mueller & Christopher Smith) tracks a couple building a small house as part of an environmentally conscious movement.
