Quantum Universe           ED-289
60 min / color / 1990 / PBSV / VHS
High school through adult
Who ever thought that physics could be fun? This program is designed to thrill all non-scientists who are boggled by natural phenomena, or who think a quark is something that grows on old cheese. The story of the universe is a living story, and quantum mechanics is the language and tool that allows scientists to explore the fundamental rules that govern our existence. A marvelous vehicle for interdisciplinary study, this program looks at quantum physics from a variety of perspectives: the scientist, the artist, the theologian, and the average American who would benefit from knowing what quantum mechanics is, and the immense impact it has on shaping contemporary science and our way of viewing the universe. Recommended for science, art, and religious studies.

Questions of Taste: A Panel Discussion           ED-264
28 min / color / 1986 / AA / VHS

In this provocative film, we hear several of America's foremost art critics discuss topics of interest to artists and art lovers alike. The distinguished panel includes Clement Greenberg, Walter Darby Bannard, Andre Emmerich, Kenworth Moffett, William O'Reilly, and Pat Lipsky Sutton. "What is good art?" "How much is good art worth?" "How do artists become famous and their work so widely collected?" Highly recommended for classes in art criticism.

Quilting Women           ED-156
28 min / color / 1976 / APP / 16mm

A warm and joyful celebration of women artists who create works of art in textile. The film uncovers the personalities and lifestyles of a group of dedicated quilters and traces the entire process of quiltmaking from the initial piecing to the final quilting bee.

Quilts in Women's Lives           WA-153
28 min / color / 1981 / NDF / 16mm
Middle school through adult
Portraits of several quiltmakers provide insight into the spirit of those who keep quiltmaking traditions alive. Seven women-among them a California Mennonite, a black Mississippian, and a Bulgarian immigrant-talk about their art. They describe the inspirations for their work-family tradition, the pleasure afforded by the creative process, and the challenge of design-and how quilting has become an important part of their daily lives. This film is an inspiring, humorous, and compassionate study of an art form that women have kept alive for many centuries.
