The genesis of To Open Eyes: A Film on Josef Albers developed from Arnold Bittleman's appreciation for Albers while Bittleman was a student at Yale University in the 1960s. Wanting to preserve Albers’s teaching method—learning by doing—Bittleman set out with filmmaker and editor Carl Howard to make a visual record of Albers teaching students how to see and use color as a visual grammar. The film includes archival footage of Josef Albers at home in conversation with Bittleman, as well as footage from Black Mountain College and Yale University.

This is the case when on April 27 2014, the canonization of the greatest Popes of the 20th century was celebrated". With these words, the unmistakable voice of Giancarlo Giannini introduces us to an intimate and emotional story of what was, in all respects, a historical event: the Canonization of Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Monsignor Dario Edoardo Viganò, director of the Vatican Television Center, holds the reins of the narrative which, among historical and exclusive images, leads to a closer understanding of the two Holy Popes and Pope Francis, and to discover places in the Vatican never seen before. Alongside him are the authoritative opinions of Pupi Avati, Aldo Grasso and Gianni Canova and a moving and emotional Dario Fo. A Vatican Television Center and Sky 3D production.
