In conjunction with Cleveland Goes Modern, the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque will present a selection of short films by 20th-century designers Charles and Ray Eames. The husband-and-wife team is probably best-known for their now famous lounge chair, but they were also prolific filmmakers. In this program, the Cinematheque will screen a selection of the Eames' greatest short movies, including Blacktop (1955), Tops (1957), Toccata for Toy Trains (1959), Design Q&A (1972), and the amazing Powers of Ten (1977). 16mm/DVD. Tickets $8/$6 members.
