That's why Mittermeier and I are here, to see Madagascar's wildlife while we can, and to see what's being done to save it. After a day in Antananarivo - a sprawling, diesel-soaked city that earns the adjective "teeming" - we leave by car for Andasibe, a former logging village that is now home to a burgeoning ecotourism trade. On the winding road we see the result of centuries of tavy, traditional slash-and-burn agriculture. The verdant forests that once covered much of Madagascar have been burnt or torn down, replaced by muddy rice paddies and secondary shrubs...

On the downside is her habit of ignoring Nick or, if she notices the guy, humiliating him. ("Can we go straight to laughing about this?" he asks after one abashing incident. That's his cure...
...said. Sitney illustrated his lecture with short films. He used vivid biographical details and historical connections to help the audience better understand the world of experimental film. One film in particular featured an overhead view of a street with three dashed white lines filling the screen. When a car drives onscreen, it becomes clear that the camera has been filming upside down. Entitled “Shift,” the nine-minute film by Ernie Gehr switches between an upright and inverted point-of-view. The film continues on in this way with bicycles, garbage trucks...
