Conversations with Paul Rand

Conversations with Paul Rand (1997)

Documentary

Director Preston McClanahan is joined by filmmaker Peter O’Neill—acting as cinematographer—to document this conversation with famed graphic designer Paul Rand. Shot on 16mm in the designer’s Weston, Connecticut home, the film finds Rand informally discussing such topics as design, art, modernism, and aesthetics. Rand is congenial but at times stiff and codgerly; old and set in his ways.

Director: Preston McClanahan
