Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Walter Gropius' Bauhaus, this lively and wide-ranging exploration surveys the movement that sought to unite modern design, art, architecture, and performing arts with communal social living in order to form an academic discipline and utopian way of life. Combining free imagination and play with strict structure, Bauhaus members incuding Anni Albers, Marcel Breuer, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, László Moholy-Nagy, Oskar Schlemmer, and more. The most comprehensive film on its subject to date, Bauhaus Spirit explores this influential 20th-century movement's history, legacy, and continued relevance in an age where function and environmental sustainability have taken on new urgency.

Followed by panel discussion about the MFAH's Bauhaus architectural history.
