The Film

The Second Presbyterian Church of Chicago houses numerous stained glass windows from the Arts and Crafts movement of 1880-1920. This short documentary follows the painstaking restoration process of one of those works of art; Louis Comfort Tiffany's "Peace Window." Filmed over the course of a year, the documentary focuses on a master conservator of stained-glass, Tom Venturella, as he and his partner, Jim Murphy, bring the window back to its original 1903 form.
