MIDDLETOWN – Coyote Film Festival, Lake County’s own independent film festival, celebrates paper folding on Saturday, May 29, at the Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center.

There will be a 1:30 p.m. matinée and a 7:30 p.m. screening featuring the multi-award-winning documentary “Between The Folds” by filmmaker Vanessa Gould.

Admission is $10 at the door $5 for kids 16 and under.

Winner of many awards across the globe, including the 2010 Peabody award, “Between The Folds” chronicles the stories of 10 fine artists and intrepid theoretical scientists who have abandoned careers and scoffed at hard-earned graduate degrees – all to forge unconventional lives as modern–day paperfolders.

This is a visually stunning documentary exploring science, art, creativity and ingenuity of many of the world’s best paper folders.

Here is some of the critical acclaim the film has received: “A gorgeous cinematic experience. I was so captivated by the documentary that halfway through I felt intense admiration for humanity, the same tingling I feel when listening to music so exquisite it's almost painful.” – Karen A. Frenkel, Talking Science

3 1/2 stars: “...Exquisite sights and surprising thoughts...Mere paper draws visionaries and virtuosos.” – Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
