[Webmath] Abbott's Flatland made into educational film!

[Ashley Smith]

The project is based on Edwin A. Abbott's classic novel Flatland: A Romance
of Many Dimensions. Flatland is a world that exists entirely on a
two-dimensional plane. All different kinds of shapes live, work and play in
this world. This is the story of how Arthur Square (MARTIN SHEEN) and his
six-sided granddaughter Hex travel to a world that most Flatlanders consider
ridiculous and blasphemous -- the 3rd dimension.

 

Flatland will be a thirty minute animated story that includes action, drama,
and geometry lessons. This heartfelt movie challenges audiences to grasp the
limitations of our own assumptions about reality, and to think about the
idea of higher dimensions.

 

The project will be completed in 2007. The program is part of an educational
DVD to be used by teachers in the classroom. Visit www.flatlandthemovie.com
