Description

As part of Nantucket Preservation Month, and in partnership with the Nantucket Preservation Trust, the Dreamland is screening a series of three films in June which highlight stories and issues that focus on issues relative to Nantucket and the preservation of its history, buildings and culture.

Built on Narrow Land is a film that looks at a moment in Cape Cod when the spirit of European modern architecture inspired a group of bohemian designers -- professionals and amateurs both--to build houses that married principles of the Bauhaus to the centuries-old local architecture of seaside New England. But in 1959, with the establishment of the Cape Cod National Seashore the fate of these houses suddenly hung in the balance. Documentary Film: Modern Architecture on Cape Cod Completed in 2013 Music score by Josephine Wiggs of the Breeders The film documents an important period in the history of Modern Architecture through the lens of one of the most beautiful places in the world.
