<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Join us to experience the thrill of exploring major canyons throughout the Southwest — without leaving the NAU campus!<\/p>\n
The Nov. 7 film screening “Boat’s Eye View: Personal Films from the Canyons” will showcase short clips from recently digitized films \u2013 mostly home movies — that document the early days of canyoneering (1940s \u2013 1970s) in Glen Canyon, Grand Canyon, and other areas.<\/p>\n
Whether you are an NAU student; a documentary filmmaker or photographer; a canyoneer, hiker, or river enthusiast; or a curious community member, you\u2019re invited to this free public event in the Cline Library Assembly Hall.<\/p>\n
The films were shot from the perspective of both hikers and boaters, and created by river-runners, canyon tour guides, sportsmen, environmentalists, documentary photographers, and historians. They were digitized through a 2021 National Endowment for the Humanities grant<\/a> that positioned Special Collections and Archives (SCA)<\/a> to digitize and provide public access to 400 films that embody the human and natural history of the Colorado Plateau.<\/p>\n Three guest speakers with expertise in river-running and tourism; documentary photography; and sustainability and environmental impact will introduce the clips and provide context:<\/p>\n Dawn Kish | Documentary Photographer and Filmmaker<\/strong><\/p>\n Dawn Kish\u2019s photographic journeys have taken her around the world. Her work has been showcased by Patagonia, The Nature Conservancy, Arizona Highways<\/em>, National Geographic<\/em>, and others. .\u00a0 As an Arizona native, she is equally at home snowboarding, rock climbing, backpacking and white-water boating. She has worked as a river guide in the Grand Canyon for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and shifted from adventure and lifestyle photography into conservation efforts. Kish\u2019s documentary film \u201cTad\u2019s Emerging World: Glen Canyon Exposed\u201d retraces the steps of photographer and river runner Tad Nichols to demonstrate the effects of climate change on Lake Powell and the past, present, and future of Glen Canyon.<\/p>\n Richard D. Quartaroli | Librarian, River and Canyon Researcher \u00a0<\/strong>Wayne Ranney | Geologic Educator, Travel Writer, and Author<\/strong><\/p>\n Wayne Ranney became interested in geology while working as a backcountry ranger at Grand Canyon National Park.
