Join us at PAAM on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 7 - 10pm
for Film Night, presented by The Cape Cod Modernist House Trust
PAAM) and Cape Cod Modern House Trust (CCMHT) will host a Film Night in PAAM's galleries featuring two films that bring audiences closer to architecture's Modernist movement on Tuesday, August 24, 2010 7 - 10pm. First, the premiere presentation of an interview with Marcel Breuer; a short film made in Wellfleet's newly restored Kugel/Gips House and produced collaboratively by renowned film maker and professor Ericka Beckman and her graduate students, second, a new documentary by filmmaker Malachai Connolly titled Spectral Houses, which examines the relationships between modernist houses on outer Cape Cod, their owners, and the National Seashore:
"What happens when a community is forced to choose between its architecture and its landscape? Spectral Houses is a film that seeks to answer that question by looking at a moment in Cape Cod when the spirit of European modernist architecture inspired a group of bohemian designers - professionals and amateurs both - to build houses that married principles of the Bauhaus to the centuries-old local architecture of seaside New England.
But in 1959, with the establishment of the Cape Cod National Seashore the fate of these houses suddenly hung in the balance: houses built after 1959 became the property of the park on the death of their owners. Through the points of view of a few key characters, most notably Ruth Hatch (homeowner with a lifetime lease) and Bill Burke (Park Ranger in charge of cultural affairs), the film reveals the impact of eminant domain, its effect on people whose houses are taken by the federal government, and literally given back to the land. A life tenancy for a homeowner is also a life tenancy for the house itself, and the irony of these two parallel lives hangs over the film from the start.
At the same time, the conflict sheds light on the tensions between the town's year-round and summer residents, both groups variously dependent on the local economy (fishing, carpentry, town services) and/or off-Cape sources of income. The participants show why the fate of these houses matters, and that the film will provide a vivid portrait of a contemporary seaside community, where the tensions of competing interests and contrasting views can coexist.
Tickets to CCMHT's Film Night are $8 at the door, and include entrance to both movies and a panel discussion with the filmmakers. For more information, please contact the CCMHT at 908- 510- 7367 or cyndi@ccmht.org.
