As part of the S.P.A.C.E. Trans- theme, Daniel Ferguson will discuss his award winning film, Jerusalem 3D (filmed for IMAX and distributed by National Geographic), that sought to show the diversity of Jerusalem and to promote understanding of the different cultures through the eyes of three teenagers: a Jew, Christian and Muslim. Ferguson will address some of the issues discussed by his advisory board of academics, theological experts and an archaeologist as well as talk about some interesting filming of aerial shots of areas normally treated as no-fly zones that permit us to better understand one the world’s most famous cities.
