The Cinema Within. by Freidrichs, Chad,film director.; Murch, Walter,actor.; First Run Features (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;

Walter MurchOriginally produced by First Run Features in 2024.Why does the uniquely cinematic language of film editing work? In real life we don't instantly jump from one viewpoint to another. And yet, film viewers effortlessly understand, and don’t even notice, most edits. This has led to the suspicion that film editing exploits some universal features of human perception. Film editor Walter Murch, scholar David Bordwell and a handful of eminent psychologists present this compelling portrait of the profound naturalness of film editing.Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Bewilderment : a novel / by Powers, Richard,1957-author.;

"A heartrending new novel from the Pulitzer Prize-winning and #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Overstory. "Richard Powers, whose novels combine the wonders of science with the marvels of art, astonishes us in different ways with each new book." -Heller McAlpin, NPR Books. The astrobiologist Theo Byrne searches for life throughout the cosmos while single-handedly raising his unusual nine-year-old, Robin, following the death of his wife. Robin is a warm, kind boy who spends hours painting elaborate pictures of endangered animals. He's also about to be expelled from third grade for smashing his friend in the face. As his son grows more troubled, Theo hopes to keep him off psychoactive drugs. He learns of an experimental neurofeedback treatment tobolster Robin's emotional control, one that involves training the boy on the recorded patterns of his mother's brain ... With its soaring descriptions of the natural world, its tantalizing vision of life beyond, and its account of a father and son's ferocious love, Bewilderment marks Richard Powers's most intimate and moving novel. At its heart lies the question: How can we tell our children the truth about this beautiful, imperiled planet?"--
