Connection Between the Royal Observatory Greenwich and Griffith Observatory.
On October 24, the Foundation welcomed a delegation of distinguished Royal Museums Greenwich guests including Paddy Rodgers, the Director (Chief Executive). Rodgers captivated our live audience with an informative and entertaining lecture on Britain's influence on astronomy and on the connection between the Royal Observatory Greenwich and Griffith Observatory. His presentation, curated especially for this occasion, is now available on YouTube.
Lectures:
"Rebel With a Cause on Location"
"History of Film Industry with Griffith Observatory"
Across two unforgettable evenings, over 300 guests stepped into Hollywood history to mark a unique convergence of milestone anniversaries: Griffith Observatory's 90th and the 70th anniversary of the theatrical release of Rebel Without A Cause.
Enjoy the replay of the first event's illuminating pre-screening talk provided by Dr. E.C. Krupp, Kara Knack, and special guest Howard A. Rodman with opening remarks by Griffith Observatory Foundation Executive Director Elizabeth Greenway and City of Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Jacqueline Hamilton.
On the second evening before the film played, Dr. Krupp offered a lecture on the long and vibrant history between Griffith Observatory and the film industry. Tune in to the second night pre-screening talk here.
