Description

This showing will include a presentation by Michael McKinnon, Film Producer/Director. One of the highlights of WEP 2014 is the Film Festival, which is a whole KAUST community-orientated festival with the multi-award winning films being suitable for all ages. A privileged special feature is that a scientist, filmmaker or distinguished lecturer, will be introducing all the films, giving the audience a unique insight into the background and making of them. Nile River of Gods 1992-1995 Mckinnon Films 'Nile River of the Gods', an exploration of the Nile, its history and wildlife, is both a journey of discovery from the mountains of Central Africa to the teeming Egyptian Delta, and a voyage through time from the days of the earliest Pharaohs to the present. The life of the great river, depicted on the walls of ancient Egyptian tombs, endures in the customs of the peoples of the Nile. See how they have lived for millennia in cultural equilibrium with the river and its wildlife.
