"World of Buckminster"

A 90-minute award-winner by Robert Snyder.

Dubbed by Marshall McLuhan as "The Leonardo da Vinci of our times," Buckminster Fuller was an architect, inventor, scientist, teacher and philosopher.

He advocated intelligent use of the earth's resources to gain the maximum return for the minimum of material and energy expended. He produced numerous models to show how it could be done.

This comprehensive and up-close document shows not only the man and his motives, his ideas and inventions, but also illustrates his belief that the Utopia he envisioned is now within reach on our beautiful little spaceship called Earth. Einstein's great conceptioning can go from weaponry to livingry, and it is now practical; the metaphysical can really master the physical.

"As pure a record of Buckminster as would be possible to make. His voice and persona are the film... A holographic portrait of one of the great teachers of our time, transcribed in sight and sound for the archives of posterity." — L.A. Free Press.

"A mind-blowing session... A rare instance of genius graphically explained... far-out ideas in understandable form." — Variety.
