Description:
MILE 19 - 10 min
Scarred by the violence of war, Johnnie Jameson returned seeking peace. In 1986, Johnnie ran the first LA Marathon backwards and found it therapeutic. Since then, Johnnie has run every LA marathon consecutively. As he prepares for his 30th race, Johnnie must dig deeper than ever to continue his streak.

LAST SHIP - 11 min
In the same places where "La Terra Trema" by Visconti was filmed, the Rodolico family has been building ships for four generations. If yesterday around these shipwrights a whole community used to gather and identify itself, today that world is disappearing because of the changing times.

LEARNING TO SEE: THE WORLD OF INSECTS - 70 min
This film tells the story of photographer Robert Oelman who leaves his psychology career in the early 1990s to pursue photography. He moves from the United States to Colombia and purchases a small farm in the hills. On his journeys through the rain forests of the Amazon Basin he begins to take striking photographic images of undiscovered insects. After more than twenty years of traveling, searching and photographing, his quest culminates with a New York City gallery show. He also learns that these tiny life forms must continue to survive. They are at the bottom of the mammalian food chain and are critically important to all animal species including mankind.
