Enjoy a superb Christmas dinner in the magnificent Regency restaurant at the Institute of Directors (IoD) at 116 Pall Mall, London, followed by a unique opportunity to listen to film-director and photographer Neil Lucas as he presents some of the vivid stories and images from his monumental career.
Neil Lucas was a producer with the BBC’s world-renowned Natural History Unit for over 20 years. During that time he worked on many international award-winning productions, including Sir David Attenborough’s Trials of Life, The Private Life of Plants, The Life of Mammals and Planet Earth.
Neil’s most recent production was the highly acclaimed BBC landmark series Life. He produced two of the most technically challenging programmes of the entire series: Plants, about the ingenious and manipulative ways of plants, and Creatures of the Deep which focused on marine invertebrates, from squid to giant octopuses. Many of Neil’s programmes have been nominated for BAFTA and EMMY awards.
Neil is now a freelance film director and photographer specializing in the more demanding and technical shoots, using state of the art filming and photographic techniques, which he has devised and for which he is recognised worldwide.
The IoD is a grand Grade I listed Regency building and its sweeping marble staircase and vast walls covered in 18th and 19th century canvases provides a spectacular backdrop for the evening; the period restaurant at the IoD is a most fitting venue for this elegant, traditional Christmas celebration.
Venue: Institute of Directors (IoD) at 116 Pall Mall.
