Summary:
Searching For Space is a cinematic portrait of Herman Hertzberger, one of the most important architects in The Netherlands. Conscientious and socially driven, Hertzberger has maintained that, whether designing a house, school or factory, it is not the building's architecture that concerns him but the human life and activity that will inhabit it. The profile investigates key questions around Hertzberger's life and work, such as his influences and inspirations, how his personal convictions manifest in his designs, and how he envisions his architecture contributing to effective society-building. The accompanying booklet contains illuminating texts by director Kees Hin and architect Maarten Kloos.

Summary:
Louise Bourgeois: The Spider, the Mistress and the Tangerine is a mesmerizing cinematic journey inside the world of the modern art legend and feminist icon. As an artist, Louise Bourgeois always worked on her own vigorously inventive and disquieting terms. In 1982, at the age of 71, she became the first woman honored with a major retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. She went on to create her most powerful and persuasive work--the massive spider sculptures that have since been exhibited all over the world. Filmed with unparalleled access between 1993 and 2007, this documentary delicately sheds light on the ways in which her childhood traumas and memories became embodied in objects and installations. An intimate and human engagement with an artist’s world, this documentary is a comprehensive and dramatic work of creativity and revelation.

Summary:
Originally broadcast in April and May of 1998. Hosted by executive producer Tom Hanks, the miniseries tackles the daunting challenge of chronicling the entire history of NASA's Apollo space program from 1961 to 1972. For the most part, it's a rousing success. Some passages are flatly chronological, awkwardly wedging an abundance of factual detail into a routine dramatic structure. But each episode is devoted to a crucial aspect of the Apollo program. The cumulative effect is a deep and thorough appreciation of NASA's monumental achievement. With the help of a superlative cast, consistent writing, and a stable of talented directors, Hanks has shared his infectious enthusiasm for space exploration and the inspiring power of conquering the final frontier. 12 épisodes, 12 heures.
