Overview
Hundreds of scholars and biographers have tried to explain the life and work of Emily Dickinson, but the famously reclusive poet remains an enigma. In LOADED GUN: Life, and Death, and Dickinson, stumped filmmaker Jim Wolpaw uses a decidedly unorthodox approach to create a documentary about the writer whose beautiful, haunting and cryptic poetry has never quite squared with her reputation as a sensitive spinster. Wolpaw's efforts to illuminate this ethereal subject - more than 150 years after her death - yield some hilariously frustrating results.

Voices & Visions: Emily Dickinson(en)
1988-01-01
Though Emily Dickinson spent almost all her life in Amherst, Massachusetts, her poems represent a broad range of imaginative experience. They are rich in feeling, wide in their knowledge of nature, books, and geography, and expansive in their vision. Dickinson’s training in science suggests a source for her skill in accurate observation, whether of plants and animals or the workings of her own mind. The greatest effect of her scientific studies, though, is in her experimental attitude about life’s great issues.

El Gringo Eskiador(fr)
1978-01-01
In June 1978, Patrick Vallençant made the first ski descent of the southeast face of Artesonjaru in Peru, in the Cordillera Blanca, 6,000 meters above sea level and 60° of slope. He left Huaraz on horseback, a donkey carrying his equipment. While crossing Cajas, the last village on the trail to Lake Paron, he was greeted by Victor and Cesar, two Indians who accompanied him to the lake. The climb to the summit was tiring, requiring as much effort from his arms as from his legs. The beginning of the descent was hesitant, the slope extremely steep. He achieved his feat on June 9, his thirty-second birthday.

The Lost Coast(en)
2018-04-23
Traversing the continent’s most rugged shoreline and dodging the tidal surge of the Pacific Ocean, the United States ultra-runner Dylan Bowman attempts the Fastest Known Time for traversing California’s Lost Coast. Shrouded in myth – and fog – the Lost Coast describes a section of California coastline so forbidding that it stymied even the most dogged engineers, who carved Highway One out of thousands of miles of West Coast forests and beaches. Highway One, which (often in combination with Highway 101) stretches from Orange County to Canada, makes only one exception to its coast-hugging route: the Lost Coast, where it veers inland, defeated by the vertiginous cliffs of the King Range.
