Charles and Ray Eames, better known for their furniture designs, spent time in Mexico filming the rituals of Día de los Muertos and assembled the footage into this short study of the holiday. The camera moves through candlelit cemeteries, market stalls selling sugar skulls and papier-mâché skeletons, and home altars built with marigolds, bread, and photographs of the dead. There is no interview subject and little spoken narration; the Eameses let processions, bell-ringing, and the accumulation of small ritual objects carry the film, the same design instinct they brought to their furniture applied here to a culture's visual language around mortality. Shot in 1957, it treats the Mexican tradition as neither morbid nor quaint, showing a whole town, from children to grandmothers, engaged in the same unhurried work of remembering. At just over ten minutes, it plays like a visual essay on how a community makes death a shared, decorated, and oddly cheerful public event.
