Between the Folds (2008): Depicts a cast of fine artists and eccentric scientists (from MIT and NASA) who have devoted their lives to the unlikely medium of modern origami. Through their determination to reinterpret the world in paper, they arouse a fascinating mix of sensibilities towards art, form, expressiveness, creativity and meaning. (7.7)

I thought that origami is just folds, straight edges and plane surfaces. It is way more than that and this documentary shows that it is like sculpting with paper but with the origami rules (square paper, no cutting, no glue). Some of the artists do use rectangular paper, but without that how do you make a long dragon with scales all folded with a single piece? Wow, it is amazing what the artists can do with just flat paper. And, there's science behind the whole thing. My Rating: 7.0
