  • "The Life & Times of Life & Times is an engaging and educational film addressing the biology of aging. Why do we age? It seems to contradict the basic tenant of natural selection: keeping that which works. Evolutionarily, life is centered on reproduction. Once that has been accomplished, nature has no interest in why, how, or if anything follows. Biologists tackling the problem are learning how genetically alterations can lead to extended lifespans, altering the way that cells respond to time--or perhaps only the perception that time passes, rather than being the driving force of individuation and growth. The insights are provocative, and the subject itself should be of interest to anyone interested in why we live and die."
  • ""Un voyage dans le monde des cellules, ballet vertigineux de vies et de morts."
  • "A guided tour into the invisible world of cells, told through a collage of metaphors. State-of-the-art microcinematography is playfully intercut with parallel images from life at the human scale: a hundred lighted violins, imploding skyscrapers, pieces of film on the cutting room floor. Contains interviews with noted biologists including Rita Levi-Montalcini, a programmed-cell-death pioneer and winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize for Medicine."
  • "Discusses and portrays the invisible world of cells, how they "communicate with each other, work together, reproduce, and die, all to benefit the larger organism of which they are a part." Includes interviews with noted biologists."

  • "Death By Design looks at the interaction of cells, and how communication between cells leads to apoptosis, or programmed cell death. It addresses the method and reasons for communications between cells: where to go, what to do when they get there, and when to die. It is important that cells die. In this illuminating primer on the whys and wherefores of biological processes, programmed cell death is explained as essential to our health, which is one that consists of microscopic organisms working in unison for the betterment of the whole."

  • ""Il existe un monde où la mort survient des milliards de fois par heure, pour donner la vie. Dans ce monde, les messages les plus subtils s'échangent en mystérieuses chorégraphies. Une mort programmée est une rêverie cinématographique et scientifique dans l'univers des cellules, formes ultimes de toutes vies. La mort programmée des cellules, phénomène prometteur et largement inexploré est défriché par les meilleurs spécialistes mondiaux - dont Robert Horvitz, 7 ans avant qu'il ne se voit décerner le prix Nobel de médecine."
