Now Showing at Your Library!

Today's Now Showing at your Library film:

Here’s your chance to watch and discuss the film Between the Folds by Vanessa Gould at a Community Cinema screening event.

Think origami is just paper planes and cranes? Meet a determined group of theoretical scientists and fine artists who have abandoned careers and scoffed at graduate degrees to forge new lives as modern-day paper folders. Together they reinterpret the world in paper, creating a wild mix of sensibilities towards art, science, creativity and meaning.

Get a sneak peek of Between the Folds on YouTube.

Additional information:

This one hour free screening will be followed by a folding demonstration and moderated discussion presented by M Craig of the Tucson Origami Club.
