- Enjoy Everest, a time lapse short film by Elia SaiKaly. Sixty-five years ago, on May 29, 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first climbers to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
- Perspective:
“It is not the mountains we conquer, but ourselves.”
—Sir Edmund Hillary - What a fun idea! Read about “Landing Pages,” part of a Queens Council on the Arts residency program taking place in New York’s La Guardia Airport, Terminal A, where Gideon Jacobs and Lexie Smith write fictional stories for fliers. “Those who choose to participate provide their flight number and contact details. The writers then draft a story for them while their flights are in the air, and text it to them before they touch down.” (For more about stories on-the-go, read our post about short story vending machines.)
