Event details
Part of: Chester International Film Festival 2025 (CIFF25)
Directed By Beatrice Minger, Christoph Schaub
Starring Natalie Radmall-Quirke, Axel Moustache, Charles Morillon
A cinematic journey into the mind of Irish designer Eileen Gray, who built her modernist dream house on the Riviera, only to be upstaged by Swiss architect Le Corbusier.
Eileen Gray builds her discreet house on the Côte d’Azur in 1929. She names it E.1027, a cryptic combination of her initials and those of Jean Badovici, with whom she built it. Le Corbusier, upon discovering the house, becomes intrigued and obsessed, eventually constructing his own property directly behind Gray’s creation.
A story about the power of female expression, and men’s desire to control it.
Eddy Rhead Co-founder of The Modernist Society will introduce this screening.
