By telling different kinds of stories from different angles this site can be a bridge. Many good short movies on these topics don't see the light of day. New technologies invite new ways of seeing them. DAS Film Fest wants to encourage a re-connection with design in the broadest sense.

On the walls you see the 100 photos exhibition. It is a limited edition of 100 photos by Charles Eames.

So we are reprising it for just this week. The film captures the intensive process involved in the crafting the classic chair that you see every where from submarines to CSI, from factory floors to swank Manhattan restaurants.
