I wanted to tell you about two films that include origami as a recurring element.
The first one is from Bogotá, Colombia. It's titled *Wandering Shadows* (2004) and is the opera prima of Ciro Guerra, his directorial debut. Ciro Guerra is also the director of the only Colombian movie to earn an Academy award, *Embrace of the Serpent*. The main character of the film practices origami! Entry in IMDB: https://imdb.com/title/tt0382308 Watch the movie (subtitles in English): https://youtu.be/9qtw90X2F74 I don't know if that's an authorized version of the film on YouTube. So sorry for sharing it with you, if that is the case. The other one is *Don't Let the Night End* (2019) coincidentally it's an opera prima as well. In this case, Galia Barkol's who also stars in the movie. Barkol is from Israel, but her film takes place in New York City. The main character of this film also practices origami, but that might be the only thing both stories have in common. They are quite different! Entry in IMDB: https://imdb.com/title/tt5663804 Watch the movie: https://youtu.be/EHMqvqwzvso The studio uploaded the movie so you can watch it cost-free, but not in HD, and YouTube ads will be popping up quite often. Buy or rent the movie (available only in certain countries): https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Let-Night-Galia-Barkol/dp/B07T9C2L1M Sok Song, Vanessa Gould (Between the Folds), and Taro's Origami Studio–particularly Justin West–helped as origami consultants for the film. I do wonder who helped with the origami in *Wandering Shadows* 🤷. One other thing, I actually mentioned Barkol's movie through the O-list. I sent an email on February 18, 2019, with the subject: Mia (film). That was its working title.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it takes your breath away and fills you with the true joy of *origami*. I experienced this in my lessons with Gerardo G. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
