Dinner with Brakhage and Gamow

In 1958 R. Igor Gamow first met Jane Brakhage. Peter Garrity, in his new documentary film, "Dinner with Brakhage and Gamow" follows their life long friendship and, of course, the resulting deep friendships of their two extended families. In 1960 George and Igor Gamow and Stan Brakhage initiated a dialogue in an attempt to understand, on many different levels, the schism that existed and still exists between the Arts and the Sciences. These discussions occurred, often at dinner, continued for the some 50 years
