Between the Folds (2008)

An award winning documentary about origami, the people that do it and the science behind it. The rules state that only one sheet of paper can be used, but that doesn't stop artists creating elaborate structures and beautifully expressive works of art. I felt that some of the techniques and tricks used, particularly the wetting of the paper, brought it closer to sculpture than ‘folding’, but no one seemed too concerned, and what do I know? I can’t deny the results were anything less than stunning.
It’s not just artists that are getting involved; there are mathematicians, engineers and even physicists.
