One of film's greatest powers is the ability to transport an audience into the intimacies of another person's life, into their unusual situations and difficulties. We chose these films because each inspires us to see things in a new way, shifting our perceptions about what being human is or might be.

"How the World Looks Now” is a short, fictional documentary about a retired English teacher and the poetic effects of NASA's Apollo 8 mission and their 1968 Earthrise photo on his life, then and now, as well as its effect on the astronauts themselves. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the photo taken by the astronauts aboard Apollo 8. It was the first time in human history we had an image of the earth from outer space. "We were the first humans to see the world in its majestic totality," as one of the astronaut's said, "and we felt small and immensely large at the same time."
