'Between the folds" Origami documentary

Post by Sadarac »

I watched this the other day on my local PBS station and it was AWSOME. More info on it at http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/betw ... /film.html

I highly suggest watching it just because it was so interesting:) plus there were some great quotes and great models by great folders:) my favorite is "When you put a crease in a piece of paper, You're essentially changeing the memory of that piece." - Erik Demaine

It is a special film...
For those who may have missed it, or wish to own DVD, here is where to find it.

Should arrive in time for Xmas giving .
If we support this endeavor, perhaps more origami videos will follow .
May I wish success to all who cope with the mountains & valleys of Life,
with all its peaks & depths, as well as Origami .

BTF is currently in release from independentlens to many of the PBS stations across the US. For example, it showed in the Dallas, TX area on KERA World, ch. 13.2 for a few days.... it show for a few more days.

If you do a little searching on the PBS Web site, you may locate when it airs at your location.

After I saw it, I bought the DVD.

(I did hear that some viewers were disappointed with the show.... because it was too short ! :-)

I might also mention that the DVDs may be chosen in German & Italian, as well as English (or Americanlish).
Was fortunate to see the film on the big screen when Robert Lang presented it in La Jolla, Calif.
I might also mention that it does seem to require a bit more than " a couple days " to arrive, so word to the wise .
