Architecture + Design Film Series: The Last Artisans of Venice
Advertisement
Join us for The Last Artisans of Venice, s season 10 of The Architecture + Design Film Series continues. Venice has always been a place for encounters, socializing, and personal exchanges. In some respects, it still has something of a village flair with its small stores, narrow alleyways, and hidden courtyards. These days the tourist industry dominates much of Venice and little interest is shown in the city’s hidden gems. We look behind the scenes and discover parts of the lagoon city that have nothing to do with tourism and clichés, as seen through the eyes of “the last Venetians," craftspeople, and long-time residents who fill the city with passion, culture, and memories. They connect the past with the present and keep alive centuries-old crafts. We discover the passion for their tools and materials, and for the beauty, history, and cultural life of Venice.
