A CONVERSATION WITH PATRIZIA VON BRANDENSTEIN
Join us for a one-hour conversation with Oscar-winning production designer Patrizia von Brandenstein. With early work as a set decorator on The Candidate (1972), costume designer for Saturday Night Fever (1977), and art director on films like Breaking Away (1979), von Brandenstein soon cemented her reputation for exquisite set design across a wide variety of genres and time periods, earning numerous honors including an Academy Award for the vividly crafted world of Mozart in Miloš Forman’s Amadeus (1984). For her wide-ranging work on films like Beat Street (1984), Working Girl (1988), Six Degrees of Separation (1993), and The Quick and the Dead (1995), as well as her Oscar-nominated historical recreations for Ragtime (1981) and The Untouchables (1987), von Brandenstein was presented the Art Directors Guild’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.
