Winner of the CINE Golden Eagle Award, this 60-minute documentary contains footage of Fuller never seen before in any other film. Made for the United States Information Agency in 1977 by Academy Award winner Robert Snyder and Jaime Snyder, the film gives us a substantive look at Fuller and his work. It also contains a wonderfully intimate sequence with Fuller talking about his childhood. Buckminster Fuller was an architect, engineer, geometrician, philosopher, futurist, inventor of the famous geodesic dome, and one of the most brilliant thinkers of his time. His legacy becomes ever more relevant, providing us a road map to steer our planet away from oblivion and toward a sustainable future for all humanity. Fuller was renowned for his comprehensive perspective on the world's problems. For more than five decades he developed pioneering solutions reflecting his commitment to the potential of innovative design to "do more with less" and thereby improve human lives.

Breathing In/Breathing Out

1977 • 11 min • United States of America
For this performance the two artists blocked their nostrils with cigarette filters and pressed their mouths together, so that one couldn’t inhale anything else but the exhalation of the other. As the carbon dioxide filled their lungs, they began to sweat, move vehemently and wear themselves out; the viewers could sense their agony through the projected sound of breathing, which was augmented via microphones attached to their chests. It took them 19 minutes in the first performance and 15 in the second to consume all the oxygen in that one breath and reach the verge of passing out.
