BRYAN SMITHThe Lens of AdventureFriday, February 24.2017Have you ever watched a National Geographic film about some incredibly remote, dangerous place – and then wondered what the people behind the cameras experienced to capture the action? Join Bryan Smith, an award-winning filmmaker for the National Geographic Channel, as he shares gripping moments from his assignments to document extreme feats and high adventure in the world’s most challenging environments.

LYNSEY ADDARIOA Photographer’s Life of Love and War Friday, May 12.2017Why would anyone willingly plunge headfirst into the war-torn areas of Afghanistan, Darfur, or Libya? For photojournalist Lynsey Addario, the short, simple answer is also the title of her memoir: It’s What I Do. In focusing on humanitarian and human-rights issues, Lynsey has built her career on capturing powerful images in dangerous environments around the world. Despite death threats and kidnappings, she continues photographing pivotal subjects for National Geographic, the New York Times, and Time.

Please Note: This presentation contains graphic images suitable only for mature audiences.

NOVEMBER 201

You can capsulize most pop music acts by reciting how many hits they’ve had and how many millions of albums they have sold, but these conventional measurements fall short when you are assessing the impact of The Beach Boys. Their greater significance lies in the fact that they’ve changed the musical landscape so profoundly that every pop act since has been in their debt. Happily for us all, The Beach Boys continue to create and perform with the same bold imagination and style that marked their explosivedebut50yearsago.
