Materials for this program

Step behind the silver screen with author and design historian Cathy Whitlock as she explores the artistry that brings movies to life. Based on her book Designs on Film: A Century of Hollywood Art Direction, Whitlock leads a journey through the sets, locations, and design stories behind films such as Gone with the Wind, The Great Gatsby, and La La Land. She reveals how production designers and set decorators translate a director’s vision into the world we see on screen, shaping not only the look of movies but also our collective imagination of style, architecture, and design.
