Rams is a documentary film about German industrial designer Dieter Rams, directed by Gary Hustwit.

Hustwit ran a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2016 to raise initial funding for the film.[1] The film examines Rams' influence on modern design, his work for Braun and Vitsœ, and his philosophies on sustainability and consumerism.[2]

The film was announced in June 2016,[3][4][2] and was released in the Fall 2018.[5]

English musician Brian Eno composed the film's music. The soundtrack album of the score, Rams: Original Soundtrack Album, was first released on 2500 copies on white vinyl on 29 August 2020 for Record Store Day[6] (postponed from April 18th). The CD release followed in 2021.[7]
