The documentary feature of this week: Rams
April 7 to 14: Rams
Rams (2018, 74 minutes) is the latest documentary by filmmaker Gary Hustwit (Helvetica) about legendary designer Dieter Rams. For over fifty years, Rams has left an indelible mark on the field of product design with his iconic work at Braun and Vitsoe, and his influence on Apple. So at 87 years old, why does he now regret being a designer? Rams is a design documentary, but it’s also a rumination on consumerism, materialism, and sustainability. Dieter's philosophy is about more than just design, it’s about a way to live. Featuring Sophie Lovell, Mark Adams, Naoto Fukasawa, Klaus Klemp, Mateo Kries, Dietrich Lubs, and more. The film also features an original score by pioneering musician Brian Eno.

“you might be surprised to read that Japanese broadcasters set the color temperature at 9300K, much bluer than the 6500K that dominates as a standard elsewhere in the world. In fact, many of the licensed anime shows on Netflix were converted to D65 BT.1886 at the very end of post production to meet our spec and look accurate on our streaming service — as the creatives intended!”
