SUMMARY:Where the Wild Things Are: STEM Lessons from the World’s Most Unusual Pets to Your Furry Best Friend
DESCRIPTION:Join the creator of the viral Instagram series\, “The Year of the Dogs\,” for a deep\, hilarious\, and very cute exploration of the world around us and the animals in it—especially our pets!  Having spent over 30 years traveling the world for National Geographic and documenting everything from mummies to mutts\, Vincent Musi believes that everything we learn about animals teaches us everything we don’t know about ourselves.  With his trademark dry humor\, he takes us into the world of animal cognition and on a tour of some of the world’s most unusual pets\, including a hilarious romp through his The Year of the Dogs project. You may never look at your fuzzy friends the same way again! \n\nSince 1993\, Vincent J. Musi has been a regular contributor to National Geographic\, covering a vast range of subjects from the legendary Route 66 to life at the base of volcanoes. A specialist in animal portraits\, his recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence and cognition. When Vincent’s work shifted from documenting the world to photographing animals\, he knew he was in over his head and feared it would end his career. He’s still unsure\, as he works with subjects who routinely growl\, bark\, roar\, bite\, hiss\, claw\, poop\, or pee…on him. In particular\, he taps into his inner Dr. Dolittle to capture unique dog portraits. As a way to amuse himself (and us)\, Vince imagines the inner lives of his subjects and shares often side-splitting and sometimes poignant life stories from their perspective.

SUMMARY:Swedishkayt: YidLife Crisis in Stockholm
DESCRIPTION:Swedishkayt follows “international Yiddish icons” YidLife Crisis—Canadian duo Eli Batalion and Jamie Elman—on a whirlwind adventure through Stockholm. With their trademark wit and “gefilte fish out of water” perspective\, they uncover the little-known story of Sweden’s Jewish community\, from the first immigrant 250 years ago to today’s vibrant “Jew’s Who.” \nAlong the way\, they discover that Yiddish\, surprisingly\, is a protected minority language in Sweden\, forging unexpected connections across continents. From hilarious encounters with Yiddish speaking cousins\, to mining comedy from the diary of community founder Aaron Isaac\, to candid conversations with Jewish youth over beer and bites\, Swedishkayt is a feel good portrait of resilience and diversity. \nBlending history\, humor\, and heart\, the film celebrates the evolving interplay of language\, culture\, and identity\, and the joy of finding common ground where you least expect it.

SUMMARY:Lost in Territories
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Wild West of the Middle East! Lost in Territories turns the simmering chaos of the West Bank into a sharp\, biting comedy of errors. Inspired by the Academy Award–nominated Argentinian film Wild Tales\, this anthology of five different stories extracts humor from absurd situations where simply living side-by-side becomes a tricky challenge. \nFrom soldiers to settlers\, this film delivers a punchy\, unforgettable look at how people navigate the madness of coexisting in a place where harmony is more of a hope than a habit. With rockets\, fences\, and knives as the backdrop\, it explores the delicate art of “neighboring” in a conflict zone. If you liked Wild Tales\, you will love this dark\, funny\, and unflinching ride through one of the most complicated places on earth.

SUMMARY:Sabotage
DESCRIPTION:They were unsung heroes of Auschwitz. This powerful documentary tells the remarkable true story of four Jewish women who risked everything to sabotage the Nazi war machine. \nIn January 1945\, they smuggled gunpowder to the Sonderkommandos\, helping destroy one of the crematoria. Despite brutal torture\, none betrayed their comrades\, and all were publicly executed. \nCombining archival footage\, survivor testimony\, and animation\, the film honors a monumental yet little-known act of female resistance during the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:Pianist's Choice
DESCRIPTION:This beautifully crafted period drama weaves a historical romance with a moral dilemma. In 1930s Paris\, talented pianist Francois falls for Rachel\, his older Jewish piano teacher who champions his career. As their romance blossoms\, the shadow of the Nazi invasion looms\, and Francois faces impossible choices. \nShifting between pre- and post-war eras\, the film is a haunting\, emotionally resonant story of love\, conscience\, and survival that lingers long after the final note.

SUMMARY:Festival Orchestra: Rachmaninoff & Brahms Featuring Ben Beilman\, Violin
DESCRIPTION:It’s been said that Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 2 is a “perfectly proportioned\, ingeniously constructed and melodically exultant” work.  Following the Symphony’s successful premiere in 1908\, acclaim for the work was so widespread that the composer was anointed a worthy successor to the great Tchaikovsky.  Well-known for composing lush and sweeping melodies\, the composer reaches one of his career peaks with the Second Symphony’s Adagio\, the main theme of which is among the most ravishing melodies Rachmaninoff ever composed. For this special concert\, featured guest soloist is violin virtuoso Ben Beilman performing Brahms’ Violin Concerto. Acclaimed around the globe\, Beilman has won praise both for his passionate performances and deep rich tone which the Washington Post called “mightily impressive\,” while Strad Magazine described his playing as “pure poetry.”

SUMMARY:Changemaker Speaker Series with Photographer Vincent Musi
DESCRIPTION:In this enlightening talk\, Vincent shares highlights from more than 30 years\, traveling the world for National Geographic\, documenting a changing planet—from close to home\, along the iconic Route 66\, to what it’s like to live at the base of a volcano\, to ancient Sicilian mummies.  One story that captured his heart took readers “Inside Animal Minds” (NGM cover story\, March 2008) and included a deep study of birds\, apes\, dolphins\, and dogs\, revealing a wide range of emotions and communication skills. With his trademark dry humor\, Vincent takes us into the world of animal cognition and on a tour of some of the world’s most unusual pets\, including a hilarious romp through his The Year of the Dogs project. You may never look at man’s best friend the same way again! \nVincent J. Musi has been a regular contributor to National Geographic since 1993\, covering a vast range of subjects from the Texas Hill Country to the legendary Route 66\, the ancient crypts of Sicily\, life at the base of volcanoes\, and mummies. \n\n  \nVince is also the longtime host of Nat Geo’s Photographic Seminar\, now renamed the Storytellers Summit\, that brings together inspirational and influential photographers\, writers\, filmmakers\, illustrators\, and journalists\, once a year\, to celebrate the art of storytelling to inspire change. He has contributed to TIME\, Newsweek\, Life\, Fortune and The New York Times Magazine. A specialist in animal portraits\, Vince’s recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence\, and cognition. \nA specialist in animal portraits\, his recent work includes projects on domestication\, intelligence and cognition. \nWhen Vince’s work shifted from documenting the world to photographing animals\, he knew he was in over his head and feared it would end his career. He’s still unsure\, as he works with subjects who routinely growl\, bark\, roar\, bite\, hiss\, claw\, poop\, or pee…on him. \nWhen the world got smaller during COVID\, he and his wife Callie Shell created the Unleashed Studio\, where he taps into his inner Dr. Dolittle to capture unique dog portraits.

The weekly Instagram series\, which grew into a book—initially planned to last one year—is called The Year of the Dogs.
