When pape is more than paper.
When most of us think of origami we think of what? Usually it's the "cutey catcher" from grade school or the "crane".
Between the Folds takes one to a new dimension in exploring origami and its use of paper in the 21st century. From its use in grade schools in Israel as a venue to teach geometry, to a successful physcist who retired early to pursue a career full time in origami, to the whimsical work of a french man named Joisel, this film leads one down the proverbial rabbit hole of Alice and explodes into a world that most of us never could imagine in our wildest dreams. It is well worth the price or if your on a budget or uncertain, catch it on your local PBS and then buy it.
A fascination to inspire visionaries
This video is certainly an inspiration that extends past the limits of paper. The documentary shares the best minds and views associated with origami but certainly leaves a fascination to make choices to doing more, change the existing, and motivate the mediocre.
DVD- Between the Folds as seen on PBS
This documentary about origami is absolutely fascinating and mind stretching! I recommend it to anyone who has even a passing interest in the art!
Are 6 stars available?
Seriously, this is one of the best shows I've seen. Avatar Shmavatar, ok? If the things these people make with paper don't blow your mind, then there's something's wrong, and I don't mean with the disc, if you get my meaning. For everyone else, watch it, oh, maybe 10 times or so, and it will just barely start to sink in how utterly cool it is. Then watch it again.
All this from a single sheet of folded paper!
I thought this film might teach me a few origami patterns. Instead, it opened-up to me a world that I didn't know even existed. It's still hard for me to realize that each piece of art shown in the film was created by the folding of a single sheet of paper! It just doesn't seem possible!
The artists featured were quite articulate and expressed themselves very clearly. In the background there was a subtle, supportive musical score that created an awe and unity to the presentation. I feel so grateful that I had the chance to see this film.
