- Additional information
Robin Lehman’s first film, "Wings and Things", is really an essay exploring this phenomena from the clumsy plastic glider of a child to the sophisticated radio-controlled sea plane of a middle-aged devotee. In addition, the film provides its audience with an insight into human nature: its need to experiment, its ingenuity,
its commitment. Of particular interest is the detailed description of building a fragile gossamer plane.
The second film, "Fly Away", presents in sequential form the efforts of a man to fly and then recapture his model airplane. Here filmmaker Robin Lehman makes full use of his unusual talents for creative photography, mixing tight close-ups with breathtaking landscapes.
In the third film, “Experimental”, the excitement, humor and perseverance of man's attempts to imitate the birds of the air are visualized: the beauty of one man gliding gracefully over the land, the excitement of planes soaring and diving through the skies, and the humor of amateurs trying their “wings.” All these experiments and emotions blend onscreen to form a memorable tribute to the spirit of flight.
