“The Eames Films are the Eames Essays.”
Volume 1 of the Films of Charles & Ray Eames contains undoubtedly the most well-known of the Eames films, Powers of Ten, one of the most seen short films of the post-war era. Volume 1 also includes “Rough Sketch” the first version of the film, which was made 9 years earlier. In addition, it includes 901: after 45 years of working – a document of the Eames’ workspace in Venice, CA and record of its closing. 901 is by Eames Demetrios, grandson of Charles Eames and Director of the Eames Office.

Charles & Ray Eames
Film
Above their role as furniture designers, Charles and Ray were communicators and educators. Museum exhibitions and World’s Fairs were avenues for the Eameses to reach the public masses, teaching about varied subjects like mathematics, technology, design, astronomy, geography, time, and culture. In all locations as well as within the walls of 901 Washington Boulevard, the films they made played a large part in their philosophy and design process. Whether the films were made for IBM, as proposals for airports, national aquariums or an exploration of patterns on a blacktop, the films by Charles and Ray Eames are some of the greatest tools they have left for us.
