One thing I've asked my Stanford #mathCircle 1st & 2nd grade students is to measure their shadow every day from the same place/close to the same time, and see how the shadow's length changes after making a hypothesis. I love how this 1st grader showed what might happen. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

I caught the end of โI Was Born this Wayโ - Q&A with filmmakers Sam Pollard and Daniel Junge
โAmerican Doctorโ is supposed to be very good but sad. @fullframefest.bsky.social #fullFrameFilmFest
Q&A with producer Jameka Autry and editor Jocelyne Chaput - film was a dreamy ode to death of glaciers and grandparents
Iโm about to attend โTime and Waterโ at @fullframefest.bsky.social #fullFrameFilmFest - should be visually striking. Iโll then try to catch โFood for Everyone: Deities, Nature and Humansโ.
#fullFrameFulFest awards announced! @fullframefest.bsky.social
I loved the film! It gave a unique perspective on the Johnson presidency. Iโve biked many times through the Lady Bird Johnson Park on the Potomac but hadnโt known much about her or her focus on beautification. Itโs always chilling seeing again the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK.
Today's first film at @fullframefest.bsky.socialย for me is Dawn Porter's 100m 2022 'The Lady Bird Diaries drawing from 123 hours of archival audio that the First Lady recorded while her husband was President. Discussion with Dawn Porter: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ge6...
I can't believe it's the last day (already!) of @fullframefest.bsky.social #fullFrameFilmFest tomorrow! I'm looking forward to Dawn Porter's 2022 film about Ladybird Johnson, "The Lady Bird Diaries". "Time and Water" sounds good and we look forward to seeing what prize winners will be shown again.
Discussion with filmmaker Michรจle Stephenson after screening. Excellent film - I knew about none of this history of #civilRights in Canada such as destruction of Africvile in Halifax or 1969 Sir George Williams University protest and occupation
โAmerican Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez' Q&A by director David Alvarado - I loved the film! I didnโt before know anything about creative genius Luis Valdez. Itโs well known that Buddy Holly died in a plane crash but I didnโt know that Richie Valens (& Big Bopper) were on that plane too.
Two films in this slot @fullframefest.bsky.social - 26m 'La Tierra del Valor (The Home of the Brave)' (Cristina Costantini, 2026) about an immigrant who sings the national anthem in Spanish at a Dodgers game in the shadow of ICE raids in Los Angeles & 'American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez'
'True North' (Michรจle Stephenson, 2025, truenorthdocumentary.com) @fullframefest.bsky.social #fullFrameFilmFest #documentaryFilms discusses racism in Canada - Iโm in line for it.
Q&A with Eric Metzgar and Stephen Maing, filmmakers, after a somber and well-made film.
'The Great Experiment' (Stephen Maing, Eric Daniel Metzgar, 2026, thegreatexperimentfilm.com) @fullframefest.bsky.social about American politics 2017-2021. Its being in black and white "underscore[s] the juxtaposition of opposing views and forces"-soon starting! #fullFrameFilmFest #documentaryFilms
New Dose Yoga - today is their first day here in downtown @durhamnc.bsky.social - they have several items on their menu that are or could be made #vegan - and hot and cold plunges, meditation room, and hot yoga.
We got tickets to 'A Fox Under a Pink Moon' (trailer vimeo.com/1134622080) @fullframefest.bsky.social, about 16yo Afghani trying to escape Iran with footage collected from her cell phone and remote video with filmmaker Mehrdad Oskouei.
Day 3 tomorrow of @fullframefest.bsky.social #fullFrameFilmFest; films I'm considering include 'The Great Experiment' thegreatexperimentfilm.com, 'A Fox Under a Pink Moon' (last minute line only!) (trailer vimeo.com/1134622080), 'True North' truenorthdocumentary.com, and maybe a few more.
Q&A - what a beautiful setting but so dangerous - K2 in winter!
Iโm hoping to get into a no doubt spectacularly filmed โThe Last First Winter: K2โ @fullframefest.bsky.social
I couldnโt get into the short film screening @fullframefest.bsky.social so Iโm trying this invited 2025 film by Ross McElwee, โRemakeโ. It wasnโt on my radar but I bet it will be good! #fullFrameFilmFest
Q&A including Pete Souza after excellent film with fabulous White House #photography after screening of โThe Way I See Itโ @fullframefest.bsky.social
Apparently Pete Souza will join Dawn Porter, filmmaker, for Q&A after the screening! (This will be the first time he will see the film with an audience!) @fullframefest.bsky.social
Next is Dawn Porterโs film about Pete Souza, White House #photographer en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way... @fullframefest.bsky.social
I loved the film. I didnโt know much about E.Jean but the film revealed a vivacious woman. She stood up for her and othersโ rights. I was surprised at the kind of questioning she had to endure. There is a theatrical release planned soon and the director hopes to have a college tour with the film.
