Byzantine Iconography through the Ages
by
HUC President Zafiris Gourgouliatos, Professional Iconographer and Ph.D. Biomedical Engineer
Zafiris will survey the history of Byzantine Iconography, highlighting the "abstract," or anti-naturalistic character of the art, and present icons that demonstrate these features. Our lecture will be on Sunday, March 16, one week after the Sunday of Orthodoxy, the celebration of the restoration of the icons in the Orthodox Churches and the end of the suppression by the Byzantine Iconoclasm of 726-842 A.D. We will also prepare you for "Heaven and Earth: Art of Byzantium from Greek Collections," a rare and important exhibition at the Getty Villa April 9 - August 25, 2014 where 170 rare icons and artifacts from Greek collections will offer a glimpse to the soul and splendor of the Byzantine Empire. Zafiris is a self-taught fine artist with a specialty in Byzantine iconography. His commissioned paintings adorn the walls of two churches in Southern California and are often exhibited in galleries and events. Many of his icons will also be showcased for this lecture. A Q&A will follow. 

The meeting format is a lecture preceded by a social hour with coffee and refreshments. 
No Dinner will be served. 
Reservations will be accepted up to Saturday, March 15. Walk-ins at the door will be subject to availability of space.
The lecture is free, but we suggest you make a donation to cover expenses and support the worthy causes of the HUC.

OF GODS AND KINGS:
The Skyros Horse, a Documentary Film (28min)
by Jen Miller and Sophie Pegrum
Horsefly Films
Q&A will follow the screening

WATCH THE TRAILER HERE www.horseflyfilms.com/Ofgodsandkings.html

OF GODS AND KINGS is the first in an ongoing series of informative half hour films documenting and celebrating rare equine breeds and the unique, and often vanishing, cultures around them. This film is part of Horsefly Films’ lovingly-crafted film atlas of the horse and humanity.

This remarkable series of films explores the singular relationships between man and horse through history, interviews and breathtaking footage of the horses themselves. Many of these rare equine breeds are facing extinction. As well as telling the stories and distinctive histories of these horses, we as filmmakers also hope to draw attention to horses whose futures may be threatened.

In recent history the Skyrian Horse lived wild on the mountain for half the year and worked alongside humans for the other. Mechanization has deprived the horse of their agricultural use and their natural habitat on the wild mountain vouno is also threatened by overgrazing and the looming hazard of plans for the largest wind farm in Europe. Through informative interviews, archival photographs, sweeping photography of Greece, it’s artifacts and these beautiful horses, the half hour film weaves an intimate portrait of these horses and the people who are trying to save them.

The meeting format is a screening preceded by a social hour with coffee and refreshments.
