This documentary about Hugh Kaptur, one of Palm Springs major Mid-Century Modern Architects, created by ThisnThat Films, is a wonderful look at the career of a great and humble man. I am fortunate to live with my husband, Michael, in a house designed by Kaptur, and so seeing him finally honored in this way is a truly magical experience, and made for a wonderful Modernism Week last February 2014. The documentary allows us to understand the reasoning behind his quiet and elegant designs, and shows the scope of his work from his origins as a draftsman for other architecture firms designing homes in Palm Springs in the 50s to breaking out on his own, becoming a licensed architect and creating some of the area's most iconic symbols of not only mid-century modern but post modern architecture. If you've ever been to Palm Springs, you've enjoyed, consciously or unconsciously, his brilliant work that went from sharp angles and slanting, soaring roof lines to a playful rounded voluptuous modernism which became part of his architectural vocabulary and is now in the lexicon of most modern architects. Kaptur's vision and brilliance is in his keeping things fresh and never repeating himself. The video is filled with interviews with Kaptur and with his colleagues from over the years, and the historic film footage documents his growth as the city grew, making so many things about Palm Springs more decipherable. For anyone addicted to Mid-Century architecture (and you are legion in the four corners of the globe!), viewing this documentary about one of it's legendary stars is a must. Hugh Kaptur is a real national treasure and this film helps us understand why he deserves his place on the walk of fame along Indian Canyon and Palm Canyon Drives.
