The tension of a shot that lingers on a subject after the dialogue or apparent action has ended can deliver extraordinary poignancy. It does not work in]]></description>

Being a place of higher education and a fine one at that, there are weekly guest lectures given by thought leaders from both inside and outside academia. For the most part,]]></description>

The risks are well-calculated and the practice so refined, that confidence brings buoyancy to their work.
