News & Developments

We premiered IN SEARCH OF MEMORY in New York to a sold out audience! The fact that Dr. Eric Kandel was on hand for a Q&A obviously had a lot to do with it. I had the privilege to meet him and I must say that he is just as engaging and fascinating in real life. It was quite incredible to see how people were drawn to him and their genuine enthusiasm to meet him and ask him questions. The film was so successful over the weekend that the run has been extended for another week. Make sure to become a fan on Facebook to get all the latest information and view some photos from that wonderful evening.

The new year also means new films added to our catalog, including FOOD DESIGN, a very interesting and visually stimulating look at how food products are created and engineered to appeal to our senses, and STOLEN ART, a mind boggling account of an art world mystery!
