FROM THE VAULT: Rare Vintage Footage from National Geographic Expeditions
National Geographic Society (USA: 2012) approximately 40 min.
For
over a century the National Geographic Society has sent adventurers and
explorers to the farthest stretches of the planet, arming them with
film and cameras. These intrepid men and women returned not only with
tales and artifacts, but images—moving and still—of hidden worlds. This
rare vintage footage covers a wide range of NGS-sponsored expeditions
from the North and South Pole along with glimpse of genteel life among
in Spanish vineyards.
SECRETS OF SHANGRI-LA
Dir. Liesl Clark, National Geographic Television and Film (USA: 2009), 50 min.
For
years, adventurers from all over the world have searched for the mythic
paradise of Shangri-La and have found little ... until now. Explore
sacred Buddhist caves and witness as experts look back into time as they
uncover centuries-old manuscripts and stunning wall paintings that have
remained undisturbed for years. Has the real Shangri-La finally been
discovered? Will it survive the erosion and visitors that the future is
bound to bring?
