Selina Trieff Will Not Stop 10min
Artist Selina Trieff haltingly makes her way to her easel and gets ready to paint. And insists she will keep painting and drawing until her brush or pen drops from her hand. Selina Trieff Will Not Stop is a humorous and touching portrait of a fearless American artist. Trieff has been called an American original by New York Times art critic John Russell.

"Out On A Limb" 61min
An intriguing science is changing what it means to lose a limb, not just for the thousands of casualties of recent wars, but for the millions of civilians who lose limbs to such common diseases as diabetes. From Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab to universities across the country, what was once futuristic is occurring now as developments in robotics and neuroscience create a new kind of prosthetics. A science story and a human story, Out On A Limb shows the impact this transformative science can have, as revolutionary prosthetics move from the lab to the bodies of amputees, and particularly to children with limb loss, who stand to benefit the most.
