More info: Based on Gavin Maxwell’s memoir of the same name, Ring of Bright Water is a 1969 feature-length film that gained notoriety at the time for bringing back together the stars of the blockbuster film Born Free. But its direction by a Disney True-Life Nature Films master arguably makes Ring of Bright Water most memorable for its lush cinematography featuring open Scottish land- and seascapes. As Prof. Karen Lykke, PhD, of Norway’s University of Oslo will explain, the film is also credited with having galvanized the environmental movement in the UK. A cultural historian, Prof. Lykke also welcomes questions about her more recent research at her university’s Center for Sustainability and Development, including her most recent book Live, Die, Buy, Eat: A Cultural History of Animals and Meat. Everyone is welcome to both events (and bring friends)!
