Celebrating the program’s fifth season, the 2009 Cinema Orange summer series showcased documentaries celebrating art, architecture and design from the recent Newport Beach Film Festival. This season's films were presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Moving Image: Scan to Screen, Pixel to Projection II. The 2009 Cinema Orange Calendar included films such as: Herb and Dorothy (2008, Documentary, USA, 87 min) Director: Megumi Sasaki Cast: Dorothy Vogel, Herbert Vogel The extraordinary story of Herbert Vogel, a postal clerk, and Dorothy Vogel, a librarian, who managed to build one of the most important contemporary art collections in history with very modest means during the early 1960s. Within these limitations, they proved themselves curatorial visionaries; most of those they supported and befriended went on to become world-renowned artists. Their circle includes: Sol LeWitt, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Tuttle, Chuck Close, Robert Mangold, Sylvia Mangold, Lynda Benglis, Pat Steir, Robert Barry, Lucio Pozzi, and Lawrence Weiner. Art & Copy (2008, Documentary, USA, 86 min) Screening followed by a special Q&A with the film's producer Jimmy Greenway and editor Phillip Owens! Director: Doug Pray Screenwriter: Timothy J. Sexton Cast: George Lois, Mary Wells Lawrence, David Kennedy, Hal Riney, Jeff Goodby, Rich Silverstein, Jim Durfee, Phyllis K Robinson, Lee Clow, Dan Wieden, Cliff Freeman This documentary is about advertising and creativity and its profound effects on modern culture. The film intimately reveals the relatively unknown personalities and stories of some of the most influential advertising minds of our time. An inspiring synthesis of art, commerce, and human emotion, this documentary explores and defines great advertising as a rare and rebellious act from an industry more typically associated with mediocrity and manipulation. Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight (2008, Documentary, USA, 73 min) Director: Wendy Keys Cast: Milton Glaser For many, Milton Glaser is the personification of American graphic design. Best known for co-founding New York Magazine and the enduring ‘I ♥ NY’ campaign, the full breadth of Glaser’s remarkable artistic output is revealed in this documentary portrait. From newspapers and magazine designs, interior spaces, logos, and brand identities, to his celebrated prints, drawings, posters and paintings, the documentary offers audiences a much richer appreciation for one of the great modern renaissance men. Visual Acoustics: The Modernism of Julius Shulman (2008, Documentary, USA, 83 min) Director: Eric Bricker Screenwriter: Eric Bricker, Phil Ethington Cast: Julius Shulman, Tom Ford, Frank Gehry, Kelly Lynch, Ed Ruscha This film explores the monumental career of 98-year-old architectural photographer, Julius Shulman who populated his photos with human models and striking landscapes. Recently part of OCMA’s Birth of the Cool exhibition, Shulman’s work combines the organic with the synthetic, melding nature with revolutionary urban design. The resulting images helped to shape the careers of some of the greatest architects of the 20th Century. Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner (2008, Documentary, USA, 92 min) Director: Murray Grigor Cast: Sean Connery, Frank Gehry, Frank Escher, Judith Lautner, Karol Lautner Peterson, Nicholas Olsberg, David Wasco This film traces the lifelong quest of visionary genius John Lautner to create 'architecture that has no beginning and no end.' As a young man, he broke from his mentor and went west to California to forge his own unique style. His life was marked by innovation and inspiration, accidental leaps into the epicenter of pop culture, bitterness at lost opportunities, and finally monumental achievement. Original archive drawings and photographs are layered with artistic photography of seminal buildings, bringing to life Lautner's quest to create timeless space. Cinema Orange is organized by OCMA and Leslie Feibleman, senior film programmer/director of special programs at the Newport Beach Film Festival.
