Film by Design

The films are Errol Morris include Gates of Heaven; Vernon, Florida; A Brief History of Time; The Thin Blue Line; Fast, Cheap & Out of Control; Mr. Death; The Flog of War and Standard Operating Procedure scheduled for release this month from Sony Pictures Classic.

I have a film blog and although there are so many elements of effective design co-mingled into the space we call cinema, there are a select few filmmakers who so purposefully use design as an internal logic to their thoughts and expression as Errol Morris who's web site also reflects his visual mastery. That is why I have singled him out for fluxus design blog. You might know Morris from his Apple TV ads but you really ought to go and sequentially rent each of his documentaries to fully appreciate his use of design. And then be sure to see Standard Operating Procedure opening nationally in cinemas this month. Morris is a man possessed of his own brilliance.
