Velveteen Rabbit, the. Mark Sottnick. 25 minutes. 1985. |
Margery Williams' enchanting story about a toy rabbit, first published in 1922, has become a classic of children's literature. This video rendition, narrated by Meryl Streep, with a beautiful musical score by George Winston and illustrations by David Jorgensen, gives it a new life. Remember the wisdom of the velveteen rabbit: "When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real." |

Vezelay:
Exploring the Question of Search with William Segal. |
Two short documentaries by acclaimed director Ken Burns explore the question of search with William Segal, poet, philosopher, and student of P.D. Ouspensky, G.I.. Gurdjieff, and D.T. Suzuki. We go with them to Vezelay, the magnificent French basilica, where we listen to Mr. Segal's thoughtful end engaging commentary and witness him leading a simple but riveting directed meditation. Also included is William Segal, a short piece set in Mr. Segal's art studio and garden. "William Segal looks at outside world and leads us into William Segal the man. He seems to paint what he sees, but looking out is looking in and happily he invites us to do the same." -Peter Brook |
