Designers in Film: Films by the Goldsholls and Company
@ The Block Museum
40 Arts Circle Dr, Evanston, IL 60208
Opening Friday, October 12th, from 7PM - 9PM
In their advertising and personal films like Night Driving (1957), Morton and Millie Goldsholl devised exciting and adventurous forms of image-making—as did their employees and collaborators. This program surveys some of the Goldsholls’ most dazzling shorts, along with underseen works by Goldsholl Studio members like Wayne Boyer, Larry Janiak, and Byron Grush.
