GREENE —  The travelogue film “Natural Wonders of the Northeast Coast,” produced by photographer and filmmaker John Holod, will be presented at Sawyer Memorial on Friday, July 20. 

An internationally recognized cinematographer who has filmed worldwide, Holod  has shared his documentaries with audiences across North America. He travels in a state-of-the-art Born Free Motorcoach, immersing himself in the culture and surroundings he depicts. 

“Natural Wonders of the Northeast Coast” takes viewers along 1,500 miles from Virginia Beach to the Maine/Canada border. Among the “natural wonders” are  birds, mammals, whales, insects, amphibians, flora and endangered species. Also featured are kayaking, sailing, aerial tours, lobstering, crabbing and more than 30 lighthouses. 

Other documentaries produced and presented by Holod include “RV’ing Alaska’s Inside Passage,” “Alaska: RV Adventure of a Lifetime,” “East Coast RV Adventure,” “Gulf Coast RV Adventure,” “Baja RV Adventure,” “Cuba” and “Czech/Slovakia.”

Holod has lectured at such prestigious venues as the National Geographic Society and Carnegie Institute. Before embarking on his life as a professional world traveler, filmmaker and adventurer, he studied cinematography, journalism and photography at Wayne State University in Michigan.

Holod began filming at age 11, when he made his first travelogue film, which included footage taken from the back of his father’s motorcycle en route to the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.

At age 20, he left Detroit on his own motorcycle to see the country. After traveling 17,000 miles that first summer, he never looked back. He has lived in Aspen, Colo.;  Maui, Hawaii; and Zermatt, Switzerland. When not seeing the world, he resides in Tucson, Ariz.

The shows at Sawyer Memorial,  371 Sawyer Road, will be at 2 and 7 p.m. The auditorium is air-conditioned and admission is free.
