Product Description
"NOVUS" is directed by the improvisational musical group, "VyZ." It is an innovative documentary that celebrates the genius of inventor Nikola Tesla. Tesla could make the impossible possible. He was the most famous man in the world 100 years ago. Today he is virtually forgotten and yet his legacy is everywhere... every time we turn on a light, start a car, tune in a radio, watch tv or use a computer, it is all thanks to Tesla's inventions or discoveries. The "VyZ" musical score was the inspiration for the film's 58 minute, non-narrative, experimental structure... hence the "VyZ" slogan: "improVyZed music for movies." "NOVUS" features the timeless animation of master animators Ray Harryhousen, Max Fleischer and John Sutherland, as well as NASA space imagery, Edison movies from the Library of Congress, and ephemeral film footage from the Prelinger Archives. The result is an inspiring, yet controversial, portrait of Tesla as a scientific superman who could not only broadcast non-polluting, wireless electricity, but who also secretly created humanity's greatest invention: the flying saucer. This is not science fiction. The DVD features several Bonus Tracks with Director's Commentary, Deleted Scenes, and a Special Feature called, "Tesla on Imagination." While avoiding the cliché of "New World Order" conspiracy theories, "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" serves as a fairytale tribute to Tesla's advanced technology and vision for humanity to create a "New Order of the Ages."Customer Reviews:

Description
Airdate: 08/28/06 A year after Hurricane Katrina killed 600 people in New Orleans and drove thousands of residents away, Mayor Ray Nagin is promising a full recovery, and he says the city's rebuilt levees are now strong enough to hold back even a Category 4 storm. But some infrastructure problems persist, and critics tell correspondent Byron Pitts they are afraid the re-developed city will be a predominantly white one, devoid of its famous diversity and culture.
