A Film by Peter Friedman
Winner of 10 international
awards, Death by Design is a guided tour into the invisible world of
cells, told through a collage of metaphors and interviews with cellular biologists.
State-of-the-art microcinematography is playfully intercut with parallel images
from life at the human scale: a hundred lighted violins, imploding skyscrapers,
Busby Berkeley musicals, Harold Lloyd antics and more.
Using the same imaginative
interplay of classic films, animation and research, The Life and Times of
Life and Times tells the complex story of how we age and also shows how
scientists hope to alter the genes that determine how long we live.
