A note from the Director, Devon Chivvis:
My grandmother, Nina Bremer began photographing modern homes in the late 1940’s –at first it was out of admiration for these avant-garde designs, but within just a few decades, her photographs would memorialize these homes and the history of the powerful modern movement in New Canaan.
Inspired by Nina who was an artist and a true New Canaan “modernist”, I began this documentary almost 20 years ago to carry on this legacy. This film is a work of passion, and an homage to my family as well as the artists and intellectuals, risk takers and friends who made New Canaan modern…
I hope the film will give back both by sharing this never-before-told story on-screen, but also by preserving the work of the architects and designers who launched a design revolution from my hometown of New Canaan, CT.
