Spoon Benders

Synopsis

Spoon Benders is a child led documentary into the strange world of paranormal metal bending. The film looks at two different generations of 'child benders', and with contributions from established scientists, probes beneath the surface of society's preconceptions about children. This juxtaposing of the world of the scientist and the world of the child gives the film both its internal dynamic and its sense of poignancy.

Spacewoman Spacewoman

Director: Hannah Berryman

Year: 2024

A landmark feature documentary about astronaut Eileen Collins, the first woman to pilot and command the Space Shuttle. Eileen’s incredible journey starts with her smalltown beginnings, sees her smash through many glass ceilings, and culminates in four dramatic space shuttle missions, the last being possibly the most dangerous and most important of them all. At its heart the film is the moving human drama of one family, where a mother’s extraordinary career takes us straight to the big philosophical question of what is the level of acceptable risk in human endeavour? This film celebrates Commander Collins’ trailblazing NASA career which opened the way for women to become spacecraft pilots and commanders, and proved a perfect riposte to a previous generation of male astronauts who thought there was no place for women to lead the way in space.
