SITTING STILL: a 90-minute documentary film
Directed, Produced & Written by Gina M. Angelone
Featuring Laurie Olin
Premiere Date: 09-27-2024, Architecture & Design Film Festival, NYC
SITTING STILL is an original documentary that focuses on one of the world’s most preeminent landscape architects and his profoundly social vision. Hailed as a modern-day Olmsted, Laurie Olin has helped transform the design of public space, revitalize the American city, and pave the way for future design leaders. This portrait of an artist is told through a prism of issues which have defined Olin’s life and work for the past fifty years: urbanization and our lost connection to nature, economic marginalization, and the grave importance of humanity in design.
