Directed by Eric Simonson
On May 8th, 1945, writer, director Norman Corwin broadcast ON A NOTE OF

resonance to today's current events.

This short film packs more emotion into 45+ minutes than most films pack
into 145. The cinematography, editing, and audio of this film is as good
as
it gets. You'll immediately become a fan of Joseph Shabalala, the leader
of
the amazing Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the South African group best known
for
their incalculable contributions to Paul Simon's "Graceland" album in the
mid-1980's. The beauty of this film, apart from the production values,
lies
in it's storytelling, transcending typical objectivity found all too often
in documentaries similar in nature. As with all good documentaries, "On
Tiptoe" takes you on a journey, making you feel as though you are
side-by-side with the filmmakers. It is a journey you are likely never to
forget.

Rivers and Tides - Andy Goldsworthy working with Time (2000)
Directed by Thomas Riedelsheimer
Landscape sculptor Andy Goldsworthy is renowned throughout the world for his work in ice, stone, leaves, wood. His own remarkable still photographs are Goldsworthy's way of talking about his often ephemeral works, of fixing them in time.. Now with this deeply moving film, shot in four countries and across four seasons, and the first major film he has allowed to be made, the elusive element of time adheres to his sculpture.
