Includes: solar flares, insect fireworks, a new film from Ian Helliwell, pulsating glaciers, an apple being eaten alive, sea ravaged stock, crushed blackberries and film that has literally risen from the grave.

Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
