Between the Folds

"Between the Folds" chronicles the stories of 10 fine artistis and intrepid scientists who abandoned careers and scoffed at hard-earned graduate degrees - all to forge unconventional lives as modern-day paperfolders. The film paints an arresting portrait of the remarkable artistic and scientific creativity that fuels this ever-changing art form, fusing science and sculpture, form and function, ancient and new.

I arranged with Vanessa Gould, the writer/producer/director of the film, to have a screening at a conference I recently coordinated. It was very interesting! I have also met or been in a conference session with some of the featured artists/scientists: Erik Demaine (and his dad), Tom Hull, Robert Lang.
