Pray, Demetrios and Hustwit on film and its role in design
Let It Out!/Recorded 2010
A close reading, kept within reach.
Gary Hustwit takes film & animation as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in USA in 2010, the conversation is grounded in Gary's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Filmmakers Gary Hustwit, Doug Pray and Eames Demetrios engage in dialogue with Michael Bierut about making movies that deal with design and its possibilities.
