With over 118 years of history, it's amazing to see an institution as rich in tradition as the National Geographic, evolve right before our eyes. Last night's celebration of the 3rd Annual All Roads Film Festival in Washington D.C. is a testament to the striking evolution undergoing at the Society that will keep her relevant for the next 118 years. The first season's autumn rains did nothing to dampen the spirits of another magical night of passionate films (Arctic Sun, The Hardest of These is Love), blistering spoken word (Saul Williams), and feverent hip-hop (Emmanuel Jal). With the live dancefloor at full capcity and lines of eager attendees wrapped around the halls, the resourceful AV staff created a live stream of the event simulcast in the Grosvenor Auditorium. 2 venues, 1 groove in what was truly a special night!!
