I came across this film on the PBS website when I was looking for information for my middle school classes. Each quarter I teach my students a little origami. I decided to show the film to my class after we finished making origami cranes. It was incredible to see their reactions. It is often very difficult to get middle school students engaged or excited about anything in the classroom. So, to see their eyes wide and their mouths closed while watching the film was a real treat. My 6th graders were particularly awe-struck. There were lots of nudges, fingers pointed at the screen, and "Whoa"s.
Some of the dialogue and concepts were certainly over their heads, but they were still visibly inspired and engaged by the feats accomplished with paper. I would recommend it for any age range.

too many numbers
At first I liked it, but
after a few folds I didn't
understand it.
Wasn't what I expected.

Comments about PBS Between the Folds DVD:
I've been wanting my own copy for some time after viewing this on PBS. Finally I have my own copy, and it's a treasure. Anyone who has not witnessed Between the Folds has missed an incredible experience.
Comments about PBS Between the Folds DVD:
Between the Folds is an excellent, well researched and comprehensive exploration of origami...with expert personal expressions. Sensitive to meaningful aspects of this art, there was a spiritual feeling about origami and it's artists

The DVD was shipped on time and everything went well. The DVD is just fun to watch what the human mind is capable of doing.
Comments about PBS Between the Folds DVD:
This DVD demonstrated what math can do - from paper folds to engineering inventions that can be seen in everyday products! This video has captured many pictures and illustrations, along with a great narrative, my three grade school children asked to watch more! This is educational, entertaining and inspirational.
