The SNHF program and its associated student org, Prismatic, are excited to announce the spring screening of student works. Join us Tuesday, May 5th at the Procrastinator Theater! The program will feature theses, second-year films, and first-year films by the MFA students.

FRIDAY 4/24 @ 9am!
The SNHF program proudly welcomes all to attend a screening of "Conowingo", MFA candidate Zachary Garmoe's thesis film.

Congratulations SNHF alum Kathy Kasic (c'4) on her film "The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice" which has just been nominated for a National Emmy for Outstanding Science and Technology Documentary! And to Billy Collins (c'14) for his cinematography on this film, too! The SNHF program is so proud.

Fusing historical intrigue with cutting-edge science, The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice uncovers how the Greenland Ice Sheet collapsed before – and may do so again – offering a window into our socio-economic future. During the 1960s, the U.S. Army built a clandestine facility, Camp Century, in northwestern Greenland with a plan to shuttle nuclear warheads under the Greenland Ice Sheet. Glaciologists at the camp drilled a mile into the ice, extracting sediment from under it. The sediment was forgotten to science for decades but contained evidence of past life and clues of an ice-free Greenland.

The awards are to be announced May 28th. "The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice" has also won Best Environmental Filmmaking Award at Wild and Scenic Film Festival, Best Feature Documentary at the Raw Science Film Festival in NYC, was a selection for Santiago Wild FF,
screened in Copenhagen at the Niehls Bohr Institute during the National Greenland Ice Sheet
Science Conference, and played at the US Capitol, as part of a Sustainable Energy and
Environment Coalition Task Force Briefing.
