Monday Night at the Swiss Embassy

Steve and Nick answer questions after the screeningMonday night, Legacy of the Great Aletsch premiered as part of the Environmental Film Festival. An audience of nearly 200 people filled the auditorium of the Swiss Embassy. The film was projected for the first time in public - in High Definition! After the screening, Nick and I answered questions from the audience until the embassy had to close. It was a great screening and a perfect venue to premiere the film.

Dinner with festival organizers and embassy staffNick and I would like to thank all organizers of the event, including Flo Stone, Peter O'Brien, Chris Head and the rest of the staff of the Environmental Film Festival, as well as Christine Washington and the others at the Swiss Embassy.
