Storyline

Between 1940 and 1944, László Moholy-Nagy shot a number of short movies that documented the activities and projects of the design school he directed. The school had been founded in Chicago in 1937 as the New Bauhaus: American School of Design, but it was closed after only one year. In 1939 Moholy-Nagy founded another school, the School of Design in Chicago, which was reorganized and renamed the Institute of Design in 1944. In 1956 the Institute of Design became a department of the Illinois Institute of Technology, where it continues today.
