On this episode of Archinect Sessions we\\u2019re sharing a conversation I had with\\xa0Alysa Nahmias, the director and producer of the documentary film \\u201cThe New Bauhaus.\\u201d We recorded this conversation last month, poolside, a few hours before the film premiered to a packed house in the\\xa0Annenberg Theater\\xa0at the\\xa0Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Alysa, a trained architect-turned-filmmaker, made her directorial debut in 2011 with\\xa0Unfinished Spaces, a critically acclaimed documentary about the unfinished National Art School in Cuba.\\xa0

While she has a number of producing credits under her belt, The New Bauhaus is the second documentary film project that she directed. The film focuses on the life and legacy of\\xa0L\\xe1szl\\xf3 Moholy-Nagy, the Hungarian artist and teacher most famously known through his work at the Bauhaus. It\\u2019s a beautifully told story, presented in a unique, non-linear fashion, narrated by\\xa0Hans Ulrich Obrist\\xa0who represent Maholy in a surprisingly effective way.\\xa0

The film will be screened again at this year\\u2019s\\xa0Modernism Week\\xa0in Palm springs, tomorrow, February 14th, followed by screenings at\\xa0Melbourne Design Week\\xa0the\\xa0Architecture & Design Film Festival in DC\\xa0in March, and in Los Angeles, at\\xa0SC-Arc, in April.
