BETWEEN THE FOLDS
by Vanessa Gould

Think origami is just paper planes and cranes? Meet a determined group of theoretical scientists and fine artists who have abandoned careers and scoffed at hard-earned graduate degrees to forge new lives as modern-day paper folders. Together they reinterpret the world in paper, creating... a wild mix of sensibilities towards art, science, creativity and meaning.

Broadcast premiere December 8, 2009 on PBS

NO SUBTITLES NECESSARY: Laszlo & Vilmos
by James Chressanthis

They took Hollywood by storm—escaping the brutal Soviet oppression of the Hungarian Revolution and rising to fame with classic films like Easy Rider, Deliverance, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Deer Hunter.

Cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos... Zsigmond pioneered the “American New Wave,” defining innovative ways to tell stories. This is an intimate portrait of the 50-year journey of two giants of modern image making and their deep bond of brotherhood that transcended every imaginable boundary.
