House: After Five Years of Living

A record of a lived-in house, designed by Charles Eames and his wife Ray, for themselves. Situated in Southern California on a hillside meadow overlooking the sea, the combination house and studio is a delightful structure of steel and glass, designed of standard materials, as a dwelling place and place of work. From facade to interior, upstairs and down, to studio and back again, the film becomes a visual poem evolving from the four walls and accumulation of beloved objects that make a house and reflect the lives of the people within. Featured in the Festival International du Film de Montreal, 1961. Music by Elmer Bernstein.
