Good Will vs. Contempt in Art & Life!

This thrilling dramatic presentation features:
“Races, Languages, & the Desire to Be Kind; or, H.G. Wells’s Outline Of History” by Eli Siegel

“A remarkable thing is that the very great technician Nature, while working in a space of not more than 25 inches or so—that is, the human face—has come to have so many faces, feminine and masculine, child and adult. Nature has been able to have a tremendous variety. And while there is a force making things different, there is also a force making them the same.”

“What Does It Mean To Like People?” A Reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson, conducted by Eli Siegel

And–
The Mad Logic of the Marx Brothers by award-winning filmmaker & animator Ken Kimmelman. He says:
“The Marx Brothers put together opposites every person wants to do a good job with: wildness and accuracy, surprise and symmetry, freedom and order, the zany and the sane—all with a speed and precision which have made people around the world laugh uproariously….The way Groucho could poke fun at people in high places who were pretentious and snobbish was hilarious and useful.”

& more!
