Delve into a homegrown, headline-making natural disaster with Gallatin Valley Friends of the Sciences, whose popular lecture series kicks off its new season this month with all new subject matter. Co-sponsored by Museum of the Rockies and Hopa Mountain, the first talk of the ’24-’25 series is set for Wednesday, September 18th. “Lessons from the 2022 Yellowstone Floods: The Power of Documentary Film Interviews” will begin at 6pm. It will be held in MOR’s Hager Auditorium.
How does making a documentary film help inform rural natural disaster response? Dr. Hugo Sindelar, MSU Assistant Professor of Film, will share his experience making a documentary about the 2022 Yellowstone floods and what lessons can be learned from shared stories of the effects and recovery to prepare for and manage future natural disasters.
