Cinematographers Laszlo Kovacs and Vilmos Zsigmond pioneered the "American New Wave," defining innovative ways to tell stories. This film is a portrait of the 50- year journey of two giants of modern image making and their deep bond of brotherhood that transcended every imaginable boundary. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/8645-1106/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/8645-1106/rss Sat, 19 Dec 09 23:00:00 -0700 Sat, Dec 26 - Objectified This film examines our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism and sustainability. http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/8645-1107/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/content/index.cfm/program/8645-1107/rss Sat, 26 Dec 09 23:00:00 -0700
