FILMS: Destination Earth (3 min), Everything's Cool (89 min), Papiroflexia (3 min) SPEAKER: Judith Helfand
Destination Earth (3 min, USA) NASA is infamous for exploring strange new worlds, but it may be that the most important planet NASA studies is our own. Watch and discover the amazing ways in which scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center are studying Earth from space. Dozens of satellites provide a unique perspective on our home planet and allows us to see our world as only NASA can. (Liz Smith, 2007)
EVERYTHING'S COOL A film about America finally getting global warming in the wake of the most dangerous chasm ever to emerge between scientific understanding and political action. While industry-funded naysayers sing what just might be their swan song of pseudo-scientific deception, a group of self-appointed global warming messengers are on a high-stakes quest to find the iconic image, the magic language, the points of leverage that will finally create the political will to move the United States from its reliance on fossil fuels to the new, clean energy economy -- AND FAST. Hold on ... this is bigger than changing your light bulbs. (Judith Helfand and Daniel B. Gold, 2006)
Papiroflexia (3 min, USA) Papiroflexia (Spanish for Origami) is the animated tale of Fred, a skillful paper folder who could shape the world with his hands. Originally created as a poem by the director, it was turned into a short animated film in the UCLA Animation Workshop. (Joaquin Baldwin, 2007)
