In 1944, as the Nazi occupiers retreated from Latvia, they stole the treasures of Latvian museums, loading them onto trains bound for Czechoslovakia. Mērija Grīnberga, the only employee who volunteered to accompany their journey, became the saviour of the collection and oversaw its return into the hands of the Soviet occupiers. As a reward she was sacked from her job at the museum and a new reality ensued, vividly evoked through her mother’s diaries. Supported by the Embassy of Latvia, marking Latvia’s Centenary celebrations. | Between The Folds Wednesday 21 November

Although Origami may seem to be an unlikely medium for understanding and explaining the world, fine artists and theoretical scientists are abandoning more conventional career paths to forge lives as modern-day paper folders. Between the Folds chronicles ten of their stories, opening with three of the world's foremost origami artists - a former sculptor in France, a scientist who walked away from a physics career, and an artisanal papermaker working with the material which he makes from scratch. Folding a simple blank, uncut paper square emerges as a resounding metaphor for the creative potential for transformation in all of us. ‘Probably the first documentary I've ever watched that I hoped would never end.’ George Heymont, The Huffington Post
