Kirk Brown and Jill Wiltse were already art collectors and exhibition sponsors when they recently added another label, that of film supporters, with their founding of Design Onscreen — the Initiative for Architecture and Design on Film. The group is headed up by Heather Purcell, and its latest effort is tonight’s presentation of Infinite Space: The Architecture of John Lautner, a film directed by Murray Grigor. “Lautner was a protegé of Frank Lloyd Wright, but he’s somewhat forgotten today,” notes Brown, and after he broke off from Wright, he developed a distinctive vision.
