Doug Allan

An Eye Below Zero

Friday 9th Febraury 2024 – 7.30pm

Doug Allan has been filming animals in the world’s wildest places for over 40 years. He’s contributed memorable sequences to classic BBC series like The Blue Planet, Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, Ocean Giants and many others.

An Eye Below Zero will be a great show for all the family, full of behind the scenes stories, illustrated by Doug’s wonderful images and clips from the TV series. He’ll talk about diving under the ice with Weddell seals, making friends with whales, over wintering with Emperor Penguins and NOT being eaten by polar bears.

His photographic awards include eight Emmy’s and five BAFTA’s. He is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. In 2018 he was awarded the RSGS Mungo Park Medal.

‘He cheerfully endures conditions more uncomfortable and for longer periods than anyone I know. He has an uncanny understanding of animals that tells him what the animals are about to do before they actually do it.’  David Attenborough

Doug will have prints for sale on the night, with 10% of sales going to Valley Arts.
