Event

South: Mush! To The Movies!
South
UK, 1919, 81 min., Restored digital projection
Directed by Sir Ernest Shackleton & Frank Hurley
Silent with score

Restored by the British Film Institute, this is the original film recounting one of the most revered expeditions in history - the 1914 journey of the Endurance and its crew to cross the Antarctic continent via the South Pole, led by legendary explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. Frank Hurley was hired to document the trip and in doing so created a remarkable, meditative film on the awe of nature and the struggle of man to journey through its harshest climate.

South will be preceded by:

The Artists, Writers, Photographers, Scuba Divers, German Directors, and Visiting Astronauts of NSF's Antarctica Program - An Illustrated Lecture by Charles Hood

Werner Herzog's cameraman Henry Kaiser has created evocative short films about the otherworldly seabed beneath Antarctic ice. We will view excerpts of these films combined with a talk by the poet Charles Hood. The National Science Foundation runs a very competitive, and somewhat misunderstood, Artists and Writers program; Hood will talk about the origins of that program, review some of the best work by previous A&W residents, and share perspectives on how the polar communities view Shackleton and other historic explorers in the present day.

About Charles Hood:
A Research Fellow at the Center for Art + Environment, Charles Hood has been an Artist in Residence with the National Science Foundation, the Center for Land Use Interpretation, the Playa Arts Foundation, and the Annenberg Beach House, Santa Monica. His book about Antarctica, South x South, won the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize. He has seen over 5,000 species of birds in the wild, eaten live ants in the Amazon, survived bubonic plague, been charged by a musk ox, and was lost in a whiteout in Tibet. His most recent publication surveys the urban forests of Los Angeles for Heyday's LAtitudes project.

Mush! To The Movies! Is a selection of films spanning over 90 years of glacial activity and handpicked by Los Angeles Filmforum's Director Adam Hyman and Sara Velas & Ruby Carlson of The Velaslavasay Panorama.  The series will feature six events with free popcorn offered to all in the Nova Tuskhut, and an installation featuring the only Arctic Trading Post on the North American Continent, located on the grounds of the Velaslavasay Panorama. Attendees will be given a unique souvenir Polar Passport and those who attend all six screenings will receive a surprise gift and a chance to win a night's stay in The Nova Tuskhut!
