Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf with a Skype Q&A with director Thomas Piper
Renowned landscape designer Piet Oudolf is known for such unique works as New York City’s High Line and Chicago’s Millennium Park, projects that have revolutionized our conception of public gardens. This gorgeous documentary takes us inside Oudolf’s creative process as he revisits gardens that he’s designed around the world, sharing with us how they’ve metamorphosized from abstract plans to living, breathing works of art. This poetic film reveals how Oudolf upends conventional notions of ecology, public space, and beauty itself. (Director: Thomas Piper, 75 min.)
