Tuesday August 19, 2008, 9pm
In Gallery 2, off the Atrium Gallery
Free and open to the public
This month for the Film Series, 21c and LFS invite you to see the First Timers:
from Academy Award Winners to unknown filmmakers. Whether you’re familiar or not
with such regarded and perhaps infamous directors as Martin Scorsese, Roman Polanski,
or Jim Henson, seeing a prominent filmmaker’s first short movies often reveal early
stylistic choices and experimentation that would later set them apart as the icons
of cinema.
Included amongst these distinguished filmmakers are short films of those who pursued
other careers, such as designers Charles and Ray Eames who experimented with cinema
in conjunction with their design work. Come join us for a rare chance to see the
unknown work of all-too-well-known auteurs.

Museum Shop: August's Featured Artist
John and Nicole Wheeler
No need to worry about blood diamonds from these two – they're all local. Sharing
a mutual love of metal, the Wheelers create stunning handmade pieces from silver
or copper. John's work highlights an interest in mechanical design, often using
moving parts and complex shapes, while Nicole relies on simple shapes to create
intricate designs with clean lines. Enamel, found objects, and semi-precious stones
highlight their metal craftsmanship. The pieces are contemporary and unique – just
like you. Arriving at the 21c Museum Shop on August 1st for a limited time.
