<P0-S0> She is a Guggenheim Fellow, a Fulbright Fellow, a two- time Rockefeller Fellow, and an Emmy Award winner. <P0-S1> She won the National Board of Review's Best Documentary award. <P0-S2> Spiro is known for making humorous social issue films for national and international television broadcasts( HBO, PBS, Sundance, BBC) and theatrical release. <P0-S3> In 2010 Spiro directed a nationally broadcast NOW on PBS special Fixing the Future with on- camera host David Brancaccio who visits communities across America using innovative approaches to confront economic crisis with new and sustainable models. <P0-S4> In 2014 Spiro co- directed a feature adaptation of Fixing the Future which was theatrically released in over 50 cities. <P0-S5> Ellen Spiro is an American documentary filmmaker. <P0-S6> Spiro and Donahue were featured on a one- hour" Bill Moyers Journal" special discussing the film. <P0-S7> Additionally, Ellen Spiro and Phil Donahue received a 2007 nomination for Best Documentary from the Producers Guild of America. <P0-S8> Spiro's other award- winning films have been shown broadcast on television worldwide on Public Broadcasting Service| PBS, HBO, BBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation| CBC and NHK and in the art world, including multiple screenings at the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum Biennial exhibition. <P0-S9> Her works are housed in the permanent collections of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, the UCLA Film and Television Archive, Museum of Modern Art in New York, Peabody Collection of The Paley Center for Media and the New York Public Library. <P0-S10> Spiro is Professor Emerita at the University of Texas at Austin Department of Radio- Television- Film where she taught graduate and undergraduate courses in documentary, experimental film and music film production. <P0-S11> She is currently a Visiting Professor at the University of CA at Berkeley. <SEP> <P1-S0> He is a self- labeled surrealist known for his animations and features, which have greatly influenced other artists such as Terry Gilliam, the Brothers Quay, and many others. <P1-S1> Jan Švankmajer( born 4 September 1934) is a Czech filmmaker and artist whose work spans several media. <SEP> <P2-S0> Letzter Stich is a card game for 3 or 4 players in which the aim is solely to win the last trick. <P2-S1> It originated in Germany and the names mean" last trick" respectively. <P2-S2> A game of this name is mentioned as early as 1839. <P2-S3> In 1967, Gööck describes it as being suitable for children, yet having a" surprising wealth of interesting game situations." <P2-S4> It should not be confused with Letzter, a reverse game where the aim is to lose the last trick and which has additional complexities. <SEP> <P3-S0> The documentary was made for HBO's Cinemax Reel Life Series. <P3-S1> Sheila Nevins served as Executive Producer and Lisa Heller served as Supervising Producer. <P3-S2> Karen Bernstein served as Producer. <P3-S3> Laurie Anderson provided her song, Big Science, for the soundtrack. <P3-S4> Ed Grothus (“Atomic Ed”) is a machinist-turned-atomic junk collector who more than 30 years ago quit his job of making atomic bombs and began collecting non-radioactive high-tech nuclear waste discarded from the Los Alamos National Laboratory. <P3-S5> Atomic Ed is the proprietor of “The Black Hole”, a second-hand shop and, next door, curator of the unofficial museum of the nuclear age. <P3-S6> His collection reveals and preserves the history of government waste that was literally thrown in a trash heap. <P3-S7> Atomic Ed and the Black Hole is a documentary released in 2001 by filmmaker, Ellen Spiro. <SEP> <P4-S0> Samir Dayal Mathur is a theoretical physicist who specializes in string theory and black hole physics. <P4-S1> Mathur is a professor in the Department of Physics at The Ohio State University and a member of the University's High Energy Theory Group. <P4-S2> He was a faculty member at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1991–99 and held postdoctoral positions at Harvard University and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. <P4-S3> Mathur's research is focused on string theory, black holes, the AdS/ CFT correspondence, and cosmology. <P4-S4> He is best known for developing the Fuzzball conjecture as a resolution of the black hole information paradox. <P4-S5> The Fuzzball conjecture asserts that the fundamental description of black holes is given by a quantum bound state of matter which has the same size as the corresponding classical black hole. <P4-S6> This quantum bound state replaces the event horizon and singularity, and the classical black hole metric is claimed to be an approximate effective description. <P4-S7> In 2009 Mathur published a strong version of the black hole information paradox, strengthening Stephen Hawking's original version by demonstrating that small local corrections to Hawking's semiclassical analysis can not restore unitarity. <P4-S8> This result was obtained by applying Strong Subadditivity of Quantum Entropy to the evaporation of Hawking radiation. <P4-S9> This led to a renewed interest in the information paradox and the development of the 2012 black hole firewall paradox. <SEP> <P5-S0> It was Švankmajer's first film. <P5-S1> The Last Trick is a 1964 Czechoslovak animated short film by Jan Švankmajer.
