SITTING STILL: a 90-minute documentary film
Directed, Produced & Written by Gina M. Angelone
Featuring Laurie Olin
Premiere Date: 09-27-2024, Architecture & Design Film Festival, NYC
SITTING STILL is an original documentary that focuses on one of the world’s most preeminent landscape architects and his profoundly social vision. Hailed as a modern-day Olmsted, Laurie Olin has helped transform the design of public space, revitalize the American city, and pave the way for future design leaders. This portrait of an artist is told through a prism of issues which have defined Olin’s life and work for the past fifty years: urbanization and our lost connection to nature, economic marginalization, and the grave importance of humanity in design.
Flushing Town Hall is proud to partner with American Institute of Architects (AIA) Queens Chapter on multiple architecture-inspired programs throughout the year.
The Architecture & Design Film Festival celebrates the unique creative spirit that drives architecture and design. With a curated selection of films, events, and panel discussions, ADFF creates an opportunity to entertain, engage, and educate all types of people who are excited about architecture and design.
