The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner & The Dark Glow of the Mountains
"This is the point where ski-flying starts to be inhuman." WOODCARVER STEINER (1973) Swiss woodcarver Walter Steiner rewrites the record book of ski-flying as #1 fan Herzog plays dueling microphones with ABC Sports then attains transcendence in super slo-mo close-ups of unbelievable flights, underscored by Popol Vuh. "Beautiful, moving, and exhilarating." - Vincent Canby, The New York Times.
DARK GLOW OF THE MOUNTAINS (1984) The first to climb Everest without oxygen or support, legendary mountaineer Reinhold Messner not only climbed for the hell of it, he carried along a Super- 8 camera as well. Obviously another Herzog blood brother.
(2004) Maiden flight of a helium-filled, teardrop-shaped balloon over the Amazon canopy in Guyana - 12 years after the fatal accident flight of its predecessor. Breathtaking views of the jungle canopy and eccentric characters, including balloonist Dr. Graham Dorrington and a rooster-loving Rasta. Plus TEN THOUSAND YEARS OLDER (2001): First encounter of an Amazon tribe in 1982 and what they're like now.
David Seymour, known professionally as "Chim," was a co-founder of Magnum Photos. The exhibition includes iconic photographs from his UN commissions, a series titled "Orphans of the Greek War," and stunning, little-seen photographs of women munitions factory workers during the Spanish Civil War.
"The Fate of the world's largest island hangs in the balance..." The exhibition, the result of Trent Parke's two-year road trip around Australia, is a bold fusion of documentary traditions and a radical contemporary imagination. Minutes to Midnight is an intense and darkly beautiful vision of Australia - one man's attempt to find his place within a country vastly different from the one in which he grew up.
