House: After Five Years of Living

Duration:

Year Published: 1955

Creator: Pyramid Film and Video (PYR)

Complete Record: Photographs of the exterior and interior of the house and studio, designed and built by Charles Eames, on a hill in California overlooking the ocean, reflect the interests of Charles and Ray Eames and show the influence of Japanese simplicity in the architecture and furnishings. Some of their artwork and personal objects are also shown. A lyrical interpretation of the home of the artist-designers. Shows shadows on a corner wall, part of a table laid for breakfast, a bowl of apples, a painting, flowers in brilliant colors. "House : after five years of living is both a beautiful film in its own right and an intimate visit to Case Study House #8 (also known simply as the Eames House). Charles and Ray Eames designed the house for themselves in 1949; made entirely from standard, industrial parts, the Eames House is beautiful, functional and a true home. They lived there for the rest of their lives (Charles died in 1978, Ray in 1988)"--Videodisc sleeve.
