An intimate documentary exploring the life and work of New York sculptor Helaine Blumenfeld, a hidden gem of the art world.
For over half a century, Helaine has transformed the most challenging materials into breathtaking works of art. Her monumental bronze and marble sculptures adorn museums and public spaces globally.
"Sculpting Dreams" chronicles the creation of her latest masterpiece, the ten-foot marble Tree of Life: Encounter. Over a year, we witness the artist's meticulous process from initial concept to final installation at Westminster College, Cambridge. Filmed in Paris, where Blumenfeld honed her craft under Ossip Zadkine, the historic sculptors' haven of Pietrasanta, Italy, and the UK, this film offers an unprecedented glimpse into the mind and methods of a true artistic luminary.
