National Geographic photographer/filmmaker Bob Krist

ABOUT THE FILMS
Join National Geographic photographer Bob Krist for a 90-minute tour of the world in a series of short, cinematic films from three continents. Krist’s award-winning films document traditional ways of life that are under threat from the pressures of contemporary society.

We start close to home, riding along with the cowboys and cowgirls on Guanajuato’s Cabalgata of Cristo Rey and wander further afield to witness the thousand-year tradition of “rettir” in the highlands of Iceland, the beautiful white horses of France’s Camargue, the struggle of small boat fishermen in tiny Cornish villages, and the crazy and controversial Mardi Gras practices in rural Lousiana, as well as looks at exotic Burma, and the Day of the Dead tradition in Oaxaca.

ABOUT THE FILMMAKER
Bob Krist is a freelance photographer and part-time resident of San Miguel who has been shooting for National Geographic Society publications since 1980. During that time, he has completed over 40 assignments for National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler magazines, and is now producing short travel films for NG and other clients, many of which have won the prestigious Lowell Thomas Award for Travel Broadcast, and appeared in film festivals around the world. Besides National Geographic, his other film clients include the British Museum, the Maine Maritime Museum, and several NGOs and tourism boards.
