This program brings together their first six films, presenting their five screen appearances together (including such classics as Horse Feathers 1932 and Duck Soup 1933) and their first film as a Zeppo-less trio, the comic masterpiece A Night ...

Today, anthropocentric concerns, including the accelerated rate of climate change, increased migration, and the rapid pace of technological development, have catapulted concerns about the future of the environment, culture and identity into the present, raising questions about the legacies of humankind.
