“Virtue of Risk”
January 15, 2009
7:30pm
Three-time
Emmy-winning photojournalist and documentarian Dave
Banks has spent 30 years in the field chronicling the
human condition. From trekking across the Sahara Desert,
hanging off cliffs in Australia and being hunted by the
Turkish Army, Dave has encountered numerous risks in his
illustrious career. Despite his worldwide experiences,
perhaps his biggest risk was to simply believe in
himself. Told by teachers that his dyslexia would haunt
him forever and profoundly diminish his professional
opportunities, Dave found solace in an old Ansco box
camera given to him by his grandmother. With an endless
energy and a positive spirit that has served him well
all over the globe, Dave delivers a passionate
presentation complete with video clips, photographs and
an engaging question and answer exchange that is sure to
illustrate what can be accomplished by making the
decision to believe in yourself.

Pipkin
“Nobelity”
April 21, 2009
7:30pm
A look at the
world's most pressing problems through the eyes of Nobel
laureates, NOBELITY follows filmmaker Turk Pipkin's
personal journey to find answers about the kind of world
his children and grandchildren will know. Filmed across
the U.S., and in France, England, India and Africa,
NOBELITY combines the insights of nine distinguished
Nobelists with a first-person view of world problems and
the children who are most affected by them. The
laureates of NOBELITY include Desmond Tutu, Wangari
Maathai, Jody Williams, Sir Joseph Rotblat and many
others. The film’s Washington D.C. opening night premier
was a memorial tribute screening celebrating the life
and work of Sir Joseph Rotblat. Having dedicating 50
years of his life to the battle against nuclear
proliferation - a mission that was left to him by Albert
Einstein - Joseph Rotblat passed away in August, 2005,
just a few months after filming a cautionary interview
with Turk Pipkin on the increasing dangers of nuclear
proliferation.
