BETWEEN THE FOLDS chronicles the stories of 10 fine artists and intrepid scientist who abandoned careers and scoffed at hard-earned graduate degrees-all to forge unconventional lives as modern day paperfolders. The film paints an arresting portrait of the remarkable artistic and scientific creativity that fuels this ever-changing art form, fusing science and sculpture, form and function, ancient and new. As these offbeat and provocative characters converged on the unusual medium of origami, they reinvent an ancient art, and demonstrate the innumerable ways that ingenuity and expression come to bear as we all struggled to understand and honor the world around us-as artists, scientists, creators, collaborators, preservers and simply curious beings.
