<h4>The Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) is hosting a screening of Academy Award shortlisted documentary "<a href="https://www.exposurelabs.com/chasingtime" title="https://www.exposurelabs.com/chasingtime" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chasing Time</a>" plus a Q&amp;A with the film's subject and the creator of the Extreme Ice Survey, <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/james-balog" title="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/james-balog" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">James Balog</a>. This free, but ticketed event is a part of <a href="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversary" title="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversary" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">INSTAAR's 75th anniversary event series</a>.</h4><p><br></p><p>If a single photo can inspire change, how influential are a million images? Over the course of the 15-year Extreme Ice Survey project, photographer James Balog (an INSTAAR affiliate) and his team brought some of the world’s first and most compelling visual evidence of climate change to the global stage as he depicted the rapid melting of glaciers around the world. Thoughtfully helmed by acclaimed director Jeff Orlowski-Yang (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral, The Social Dilemma) and first-time filmmaker Sarah Keo, Chasing Time is a meditative exploration of time and mortality, following James and his crew as they bring the decades-long project to a close, cataloging more than one million images in the process. The short documentary reunites James and the Emmy-award-winning team behind <a href="https://chasingice.com/" title="https://chasingice.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Chasing Ice</a> to capture the end of the epic undertaking and spotlight the power of an intergenerational effort to seed hope and inspire action toward a sustainable future. A beautiful tribute to the power of images and the importance of mentorship, the team examines the legacy their efforts have made on the world.</p><p><br></p><h4><a href="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversary" title="https://www.colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversary" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Visit this page for updates on INSTAAR75 events</a>.</h4><h4><br></h4><h4><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvJscF5574" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcvJscF5574" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Watch a sneak peak of "Chasing Time" on YouTube &gt;</a></h4>
