> I've heard a lot of great things about the Sea Rovers and their yearly > show in Boston. What kinds of things do you plan to show at the Saturday > night multimedia event? The Saturday night festival will feature Emory Kristof as the Master of Ceremonies. As staff photographer for the National Geographic magazine, Emory is best known for his pioneering work in the deep ocean. Throughout his impressive career, Emory has documented such phenomena as new life forms of the Galapagos Rift, man's first encounter with deep water sharks off Bermuda, and hot water vent animals in Russia's Lake Baikal. Equally exciting have been his images of deep water shipwrecks, including the Hamilton/Scourge in Lake Ontario, the Breadalbane under the Arctic Ice and the Titanic (in 3-D). In this 41st Film Festival, Kristof takes us to the birth of a new deep sea vent, and the final resting place of the 16th Century shipwreck of the San Diego, located in the Philippines. A rare appearance by a true master of underwater photography, Bill Curtsinger, this presentation should not be missed! As a National Geographic photographer for 23 years (including two covers in last year alone), Curtsinger's impressive accomplishments include producing thrilling images of dozens of species of marine mammels from the North Pole to the South Pole, and scores of locations in between. Penquins and seals in beneath the Antarctic ice, sharks in the South Pacific, and turtles have been captured by Curtsinger's cameras. Spectacular, haunting photographs of fascinating shipwrecks have also been the subject of his Geographic assignments. Basque whaling ships in Labrador, Bronze-Age wrecks in Turkey, and Warships in the lagoon at Bikini are just a few of the sites we will visit during this incredible jouney with an undersea photographic legend. Join us on a trek to the Canadian Artic with the daring filmmaker, Adam Ravetch. Experience underwater scenes never before filmed, or presented, of magnificent, mighty walruses and the mystical narwhal. These rare glimpses of cold-water mammals are the latest accomplish- ments from Adam, a prolific cameraman with hundreds of films to his credit. This unique presentation with the Boston Sea Rovers marks Adam's debut to the East Coast audiences. The Sea Rovers 1994 Diver of the Year, and award winning filmmaker, Nick Caloyianis returns with an important, and timely message regarding the condition of the world's coral reefs. Having recently completed a trip around the globe on special assignment for the U.S. State Department, he has chronicled the most comprehensive study to date of these fragile ecosystems. As part of the World Coral Reef Initiative, this film is scheduled for world-wide release, and will be translated into seven languages. The Film Festival audience will be the first to see the current state of the world's reefs, and what is being done, and what we can do, NOW, to protect them for future generations.

His work has taken him throughout the world, resulting in photos and articles which has appeared in various books, magazines, posters and audio-visual programs.
