HUGE TURNOUT FOR BETWEEN THE FOLDS IN ST LOUIS

Wow! That was the first word that came to my mind as people kept flowing into the St. Louis History Museum for the screening of BETWEEN THE FOLDS last evening. This was Community Cinema at its finest. Approximately 340 people showed up for the viewing of the film and I was amazed watching the diversity of people fill the auditorium and overflow onto the steps and the sides of the theater. People of all ages laughed and clapped at various parts of the film, signaling they understood what the artists were trying to communicate to them.

We’re happy to announce that BETWEEN THE FOLDS is available on DVD through our website.

Universally formatted in NTSC and PAL, the DVD includes 30+ minutes of Additional Features, a short film “Origametria”, and is available for home and educational use.

A version with German subtitles is also available in NTSC and PAL formats.

And, while they last, if you buy 4 DVDs, you’ll receive a limited gift – an original origami butterfly made from handmade paper by the film’s featured artist Michael LaFosse.  Only 100 were made; signed and numbered by the artist.

Click here for more information. Later this year, BETWEEN THE FOLDS will also be distributed in the US by PBS Home Video.

After much anticipation, Gil Talmi’s remarkable original score for Between the Folds is now available on iTunes and Amazon.

Gil’s lush and perfectly-paired soundtrack for the film features chamber music recorded by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. It was 4 years of collaboration, brainstorming and hard work in the making!

You can learn more and hear more of Gil’s work at his website, Thoughts in Grey Circles.
