SUMMARY:Film Screening: Ancient Landscapes of South Texas - Hiding in Plain Sight
DESCRIPTION:What an honor! We’re going to be joined in-store by wonderful educators from UTRGV’s Community Historical Archaeology Project with Schools (CHAPS) Program. They’re going to introduce their fascinating short documentary film exploring the natural landscapes of our Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV). Much of its remarkable history is “hiding in plain sight”: ancient beaches and drowned shorelines\, evidence of a large volcanic eruption that changed Earth’s climate\, shifting sand\, giant oysters and mammoths\, petrified forests and thousand-year-old living trees\, tiny zircon crystals\, and a mighty river. This landscape shaped the lives of the Valley’s earliest humans\, and we’re reshaping the landscape and its ecosystems today.\n• Refreshments provided.\n• Book signing after the film. (The companion book will be available for sale.)\n• PLUS\, stay after for a NATIVE PLANT SALE!\nABOUT THE FILMMAKERS\nThe CHAPS Program at UTRGV is a consortium of anthropologists and archaeologists\, biologists\, historians\, geologists\, and geoarchaeologists who embrace a locally focused\, place-based STEAM research approach (Science\, Technology\, Engineering\, Arts\, and Mathematics) to tell the story of a largely unknown region of the United States and make it accessible to K–17 educators\, the public\, and scholars\, with bilingual maps\, books\, exhibits\, films\, traveling trunks\, and scholarly publications. The efforts of the CHAPS Program have been recognized locally\, nationally\, and internationally.\nThe team that developed\, produced and directed this film includes:\n• Gerardo “Bull” Sanchez—Film Director\n• Juan L. González—Professor of Geology for UTRGV College of Science\, School of Earth\, Environmental\, and Marine Sciences (SEEMS); CHAPS Program Co-Director; documentary film executive producer.\n• Christopher L. Miller—Professor of History for UTRGV College of Liberal Arts; CHAPS Program Associate Director; documentary film associate producer.\n• Russell K. Skowronek—Professor of History and Anthropology for UTRGV College of Liberal Arts; CHAPS Program Director; documentary film associate producer.\n• Roseann Bacha-Garza—Lecturer II Anthropology for College of Liberal Arts; CHAPS Program Manager; documentary film associate producer.
