Frank Gehry and Alvar Aalto: Ideas and Influences
Celebrated architect Frank Gehry lives and works in Los Angeles a world away from Finland, where his idol, the late Alvar Aalto, created stunning additions to the urban landscape and helped originate Scandinavian modernism. This film studies parallels between the two creative giants, examining their respective styles and documenting an in-depth conversation about Aalto between Gehry and architect Juhani Pallasmaa. Several works are discussed including Aalto’s Saynatsalo Town Hall and National Pension Institution, and Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall while commentary from L.A. Philharmonic conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen further illuminates Gehry’s ideas. (29 minutes)
Quake Proof: Building the Perfect Bridge
A behind-the-scenes look at modern anti-earthquake preparation, this program documents the replacement of a major section of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Anticipating the 2007 demolition of the bridge’s eastern cantilever span, the video shows viewers how the new design and construction will presumably withstand a high-magnitude earthquake. Footage of the construction process accompanies detailed scenes of seismologists and engineers at work testing bridge columns with a giant shake table, predicting the area’s next quake, and demonstrating the phenomenon known as liquefaction. The result is a first-rate architectural case study. A Discovery Channel Production. (52 minutes)

The improbable adventures of Mole, Rat, Badger, and Mr. Toad himself in an artfully versioned, masterfully spoken, superbly animated version.

History Of Aviation
Amelia Earhart
Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic, became a symbol of courage and adventure. She set aviation records in an age when women were expected to stay in the kitchen; her disappearance during a Pacific Ocean flight ended a brilliant and spectacular career. (13 minutes)
Albert Einstein
The father of the atomic age and modern physics, Albert Einstein was an indifferent scholar and his parents feared he would never amount to anything. But from childhood on he was captivated by the mysteries and beauty of mathematics. His curiosity led him to question fundamental assumptions about the nature of the universe. Einstein’s theories turned Newton’s laws of gravity and motion inside out, and changed our concepts of matter, space, energy, and time. Horrified that his German colleagues were willing to use science to murder and maim, Einstein became a vocal Pacifist during the First World War. He became the symbolic leader of the international scientific community in opposing Hitler’s perversion of science for the purpose of world conquest. To defeat the Axis powers in the Second World War, this gentle genius reluctantly conceded the need for development of atomic weapons. Einstein unswervingly sought the peaceful application of atomic energy thereafter. (13 minutes)

School: The Story of American Public Education
Born out of centuries of conflict and experimentation, America’s public school system is one of the nation’s most significant—but still unfinished achievements. This four-part series, narrated by Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep, is a compelling odyssey that weaves archival footage, rare interviews, and on-site coverage into an unprecedented portrait of public education in America. 4-part series, 55 minutes each.
Unequal Education
This program with Bill Moyers compares the everyday experiences of two New York City middle school students and contrasts political rhetoric with the reality of American schooling. A profile of the two students and their different schools points out the inequalities of our current system and how disproportionate funding affects the quality of education. The program also features advocates for educational reform, who debate what the Democratic and Republican parties can do to improve schools. Among those interviewed are John Chubb, author of Politics, Markets, and America’s Schools, and Jonathan Kozol, author of Savage Inequalities. (40 minutes)
Understanding Learning Disabilities
How could a child be a top math student yet not be able to read? Why can another child read well but not be able to write a paragraph that makes sense? While watching children being taught new ways to learn, this program offers expert insight into the nature of learning disabilities, why learning disabilities may also be accompanied by ADHD or social disorders, and what can be done to help children learn to compensate and succeed.

The Chinese Words for Horse, Cat, and Bear
The Chinese Word for Horse: A horse can have a pretty good time galloping round on his own, but if he can persuade a hungry man not to hunt him, then together horse and man can grow the food they need, and be able to gallop wherever they want to go. The Chinese Word for Cat: When a cat makes friends with your granddaughter, the rats may already have arrived in your grain store. So don’t choose a cat because it’s cuddly. If the cat’s going to earn its keep, it must be tougher than a pack of rats. The Chinese Word for Bear: When a boy thinks he’s grown up enough to set out on his own, a ready-made home in a cave could be an unwise move—particularly if a bad-tempered bear is heading back to the same cave intent on getting his winter’s sleep. (30 minutes)
George Sand: The Story of Her Life
Surveying the uncompromising life and career of the erstwhile Amandine Aurore-Lucie Dupin, this program familiarizes viewers with her literary output, political beliefs, and the widely varied circles she inhabited. Beginning with her birth in Paris, the film describes Sand’s semi-aristocratic upbringing, stifling marriage, turbulent romances, creative evolution, and visionary proto-feminist stance. Sand’s memoir excerpts and artworks are featured; her stays in Venice and Mallorca and her experiences in Paris during the Revolution of 1848 are also detailed along with analysis of her major novels, including Indiana, Les Maîtres Sonneurs, Le Péché de Monsieur Antoine, and many others. (52 minutes)
Masters of the Spanish Word
Examining the lives and accomplishments of major authors writing in Spanish, this five-part series offers remarkable insight into their poetic, dramatic, and fictional expression. Calderón de la Barca, Gustavo Bécquer, Rubén Darío, and Rafael Alberti are each featured in a program, with an additional episode devoted to the picaresque novel, a literary form with Spanish origins. Incorporating archival photographs, paintings, and drawings, these visual histories make up a powerful narrative woven through four centuries of Spanish-language literature.
