Item no. : MF03740683 Format : DVD-ROM (SingleUser, Closed Captioned) Duration : 315 minutes Copyright : 2012 StdBkNo : 1596719028 Price : USD 140.00 ARCHAEOLOGY 6 6 GENERATIONS GENERATIONS By Paul Goldsmith Ernestine De Soto is a Chumash Native American whose mother Mary Yee was the last speaker of her native Barbareno language. In 6 Generations, her family reaches back to the days the Spanish arrived in Santa Barbara and made first contact. Ernestine tells this history from the perspective of her female ancestors, making her a unique link with the past. Famous anthropologist John Peabody Harrington, whose work focused on native peoples of California, started research with her family in 1913 and continued with three generations for nearly 50 years. This inspired Ernestine's mother to begin taking notes and, combined with mission records (which survived intact from the late 1700s), they form the heart of this story. Because of these circumstances, her story, possible only in California, is unique in America. The impact of loss of land, language, culture and life itself is made all the more clear as this story is told in Native American voices, who describe the events as they experienced them. Ultimately, it is a story of survival and the fierce endurance of Ernestine's ancestors, particularly the women. Review � "This is history as autobiography, foregrounding the power of language and telling a checkered tale of cultural survival in the extreme. The time depth is simply astonishing, and the narrative is frank and true and sometimes stark. 6 Generations is a home run. I cannot recommend it highly enough." - David Hurst Thomas, Current Anthropology Item no. : RB03650819 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 57 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 224.00 ARCHITECTURE DREAMING DREAMING DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE: HOUSE: FREI FREI OTTO'S OTTO'S ECOLOGICAL ECOLOGICAL PROJECT PROJECT IIN I N BERLIN BERLIN By Beate Lendt DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE is a film about the pioneering community-building project of the world-famous architect Frei Otto in Berlin, called the Okohaus—an experimental, ecological, customized housing project in the city center. Including interviews with Frei Otto, Christine Kanstinger-Otto, Hermann Kendel, Yona Friedman, Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal, and other involved architects, planners, and inhabitants, the film shows the development and the philosophy of the project, which was built for the International Building Exhibition in Berlin 1987 (IBA). The "Ecohouse" project hosts a number of experimental solutions to adaptable home building and personalization. The film explores the ideas that motivated the project, its underlying sustainability themes, and asks how these ambitions were realized. DREAMING OF A TREE HOUSE ultimately asks: What can we learn from the Okohaus? How can its design, building process, and the experience of its 20-plus year occupation inform ecological and design issues currently relevant to our society? Award � World Premiere, 2011 Architecture Film Festival (Rotterdam) Item no. : NN03100836 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 85 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 398.00 ART CALDER: CALDER: CALDER: SCULPTOR SCULPTOR OF OF AIR AIR AIR Unique modern artist Alexander Calder (1898-1976) revolutionized the art of sculpture with his distinctive modernism, freeing sculpture from its stand and adding movement to the art itself. He rose to fame in the 1930s with his renowned Miniature Circus, but his modernist creativity skyrocketed with his wire sculptures, an invention he dubbed "drawing in space". Contemporary and friend with Duchamp, Miro, and Mondrian, who have greatly influenced his evolution, this genius tinkerer, too often limited to his Mobiles, was fueled by artistic renewal, creating such unexpected shapes as his huge stabile sculptures now exhibited 14 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Learning Rendezvous Limited Email: inquiry@learningemall.com Websites: http://www.learningemall.com & http://www.learningemall.com.hk
