The Instrumental Chemist

0 hrs 59 mins

The Instrumental Chemist is a documentary film that presents the remarkable life and legacy of chemist, inventor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Arnold O. Beckman. Arnold Beckman transformed science. He created a series of brilliantly designed instruments that enabled scientists to answer old questions faster and more accurately, as well as ask brand new questions. He recognized that measurements were at the center of scientific discovery, and he worked with people across its fields and disciplines to push his ideas forward. His instruments enabled scientists to focus on discoveries rather than tinker with wires and meters. Less tangible than the instruments he left behind, but equally important to his legacy, are the vast number of students and young scientists for whom he served as an unparalleled role model of a visionary technologist. Although a list of awards and recognitions he received in his lifetime is impressive-they include three presidential awards, membership into both the National Academy of Science and the National Inventors Hall of Fame-it is perhaps the noble way Arnold Beckman conducted his everyday life that is the most telling. He was a man of humor, integrity, wisdom, and devotion. The Instrumental Chemist presents a full portrait of the man, detailing his key contributions to the world and highlighting the impact they have on our lives today.

78 Le Mans

Le Mans is one of the most prestigious race car tracks in the world where drivers drive the race cars for consecutive 24 hours. As the documentary opens, we see old footage of three Americans, Jim Busby, Kremer Porsche team driver no 1, Chris Cord, diver no 2, and Rick Knoop, the driver no 3. This documentary is all about these three exceptional American race car drivers who teamed up to race at Lemans and won it in 1978. Le Mans is indeed the most-watched motor support of all times. Its history dates back to May 1923 in France which also makes it one of the oldest car race events. It was initially funded by Emile Coquille and endorsed by the automobile club west. Since 1923, the Lemans event held every year in June except 1936 and 1940 to 1948 during the World War 2 era. The documentary further states how Jim Busby and Erwin Kremer teamed up for this big event. Jim Busby suggested Rick Knoop and Chris Cord to Kremer and he agreed. The three drivers took turns to drive the race cars during the 24 hours of the race and covered a distance of over 5000 KM. It was the time when the war between Ford and Ferrari was going on and the European drivers were considered much better drivers than the Americans. Chris Cord sees a deadly accident on the track where the driver turns 24 yards before the kink on the road and the car hits the dirt and then hits the guard rail and flips upside down. But miraculously the driver of that crash survived. The Porsche that the 3 Americans were driving lost a valve and was leaking oil. Despite all these challenges, the American team managed to win the race. They call it the most amazing experience of their lives and it was a sheer pleasure for them to bring the winning car home.

"ADDICTED TO SEXTING", a compelling (and sometimes humorous) look at the rise and proliferation of this social phenomenon from several varying perspectives and how the lives of those engaged in it are affected. Throughout the course of the film, we examine nearly every aspect of what has become a national and international pastime. A vast range of opinions give their input about this delicate subject and, as such, discussions with notable figures in the entertainment, political and medical fields (among others) are included. The film touches on the many high profile scandals surrounding public officials and the resulting consequences of their actions. In stark contrast, an honest look at the possibility of sexting as a positive development within the framework of healthy relationships is also presented. Sexting exists and is not likely to disappear anytime soon. "ADDICTED TO SEXTING" shows the why, how and what possible purpose it serves.

Peter and the Farm

1 hr 31 mins

Peter Dunning is the proud proprietor of Mile Hill Farm, which sits on 187 acres in Vermont. The land's 38 harvests have seen the arrivals and departures of three wives and four children, leaving Peter with only animals and memories. The arrival of a film crew causes him to confront his history and his legacy, passing along hard-won agricultural wisdom even as he doubts the meaning of the work he is fated to perform until death. Haunted by alcoholism and regret, Peter veers between elation and despair, often suggesting to the filmmakers his own suicide as a narrative device. He is a tragedian on a stage it has taken him most of his life to build, and which now threatens to collapse from under him. At once a postcard from paradise and a cautionary tale for our times, Peter and The Farm sifts through the potential energy of a human life, that which is used and that which is squandered.
