View From Above

Sometimes, a little distance is all you need to see things in a brand-new way. For astronaut Terry Virts, his new found perspective (视角) was from the International Space Station. He took more photographs than any astronaut who had come before him. Many of those images were later used to create the National Geographic book View From Above and IMAX film A Beautiful Planet.

Adventures Among Orangutans (猩猩)

Animals fond of being alone often live in hard-to-reach places. Orangutans are one of the most difficult large land animals to study. Since 1992, biological anthropologist Cheryl Knott and wildlife photojournalist Tim Laman have been using innovative techniques and new technologies to gain a closer look at this intelligent, resourceful and threatened species, giving us deep understanding of not only their world, but also our own. Come to listen to their speech!

Mountainfilm On Tour

Mountainfilm On Tour returns to D. C.! Over two unique evenings, enjoy a rich selection of films from this year’s festival in Telluride, CO. Started in 1979, Mountainfilm is one of America’s longest-running film festivals. Through the years, in and out of trends, the festival has always been best described by one unchanging word: inspiring. Far more than any other adjective, that’s how audiences describe their experience.
