"Ars Magna," which means "great art" in Latin, is an anagram of the word "anagrams." Enter into the obsessive and fascinating world of anagrams with Cory Calhoun, who took the first three lines of Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy and made them into what's been called the "world's greatest anagram."
"Ars Magna" was produced earlier this year as an entry in the International Documentary Challenge.
On March 6th, 122 filmmakers from 16 countries set out to make a documentary
in 5 days. They were assigned a documentary genre (character study, music,
political, etc.) and the theme "Change." On April 26, 2008 the 14 finalists
premiered at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival
in Toronto. "Ars Magna" won the American Documentary | P.O.V. Short Film
Award, and the winning team received a check for $1,000.
