Broadcast/Class Title: Land to Life: A Geological History of Yellowstone
(FWS-2009-0828)
|
| Description:
FWS Historian Mark Madison hosts an interview with NPS filmmaker, John Grabowska.
People come to Yellowstone primarily because of the unusual thermal features and opportunities to view wildlife, often not realizing they are standing on one of the world’s largest active volcanoes. In “Land to Life, “ filmmaker John Grabowska presents a lyrical interpretation of the sweeping geologic story of Yellowstone, from glaciation to mountain-building to the gigantic caldera of a supervolcano. Featuring breathtaking cinematography of this complex and charismatic landscape, Land to Life was filmed over two years in all four seasons and delves deeply into the significance behind the scenery. Key to the story is illuminating the intimate bonds between the landscape and biology -- how Yellowstone's geology influences where life exists and how it evolves. Land to Life contemplates our connection as well: humankind’s relationship to Yellowstone, the world's first and most famous national park.
John Grabowska has produced films from the subarctic to the subtropics. His films have been official selections of more than 30 festivals around the world, broadcast nationally on PBS and have received numerous international awards. He has presented his films to audiences at the National Geographic Society and the Smithsonian Institution and conducted environmental media workshops in Argentina and Panama. Since 1991 Grabowska has been writing, producing and directing documentary films with the Interpretive Design Center of the National Park Service, specializing in the environment and American History.
