DESIGNS FOR LIVING A Collection of Experimental Films (Church of Film) 

The architects of capital envisioned a future close at hand, of consumerist utopia, absolute automation, and urban and domestic planning that would enrich, and reinforce, the traditional nuclear family and capitalist order. Things didn’t go as planned.

DESIGNS FOR LIVING is a disrespectful, disapproving collection of films depicting capitalist designs and their ignominious flops, through company-spread industrial musicals by General Motors and others, to the biting rejoinders of filmmakers throughout South America, and lastly, to some truly bizarre, hippy-anarchist fantasies of different cities and homes. Far out, square, hilarious and troubling!
