Interisland Terminal is proud to announce that we are re-introducing our documentary film series "Manufacturing Reality". The series will be housed in a micro-cinema setting at the R&D bookstore and feature a R&D-related twist. Admission to each film, to be presented on the first thursday of every month, will also include a chance to win a book from the R&D library.

We're kicking off the film series in February with the inspiring story of the husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames, widely regarded as America’s most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life – from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age – has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film since their death dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.

We'll also raffle off a copy of The Story of Eames Furniture, a very fine two-volume set celebrating the couple's work.

Interisland Terminal – 2010 from Interisland Terminal on Vimeo.

One other late update from Tribeca: James Franco filmed a doc called ‘Saturday Night’ that chronicled the process of creating one episode of Saturday Night Live. The result of his amazing access to the cast and crew was fascinating

Here are couple of links about the show and subsequent Q&A with Franco and some of the SNL cast:

Over the 9 days I was at TFF, I managed to squeeze in 18 films, 7 filmmaker Q&A sessions, and 3 Tribeca talks. Really good filmmaker presence

My 4 favorite

Monogamy – great looking film shot on the Red camera. The way it showcased brooklyn, helped make up for the fact that I was spending most of my time in NY inside dark theaters

Dog Pound – brutally violent, but exceptionally well executed film. Great characters and actors, fantastic storytelling, and the most expertly edited film I saw.

Buried Lands – clever concept and thoughtful execution of the narrative / doc hybrid. Fascinating subject in the “Pyramids” in Bosnia

The Sentimental Engine Slayer – I have a soft spot for films that bring me back to border-towns in Texas like the one I grew up in. Really interesting (and compelling) story structure and sound elements

ALSO SEEN

William Vincent, Feathered Cocaine, Meskada, Thieves by Law, Legacy, Brilliant Love, Gerrymandering, The Killer Inside Me, Nice Guy Johnny, Metropia, Heartbreakers, Freakonomics, Saturday Night
