TAC Festival Banquet
Wednesday, May 13th, 2026, 6 - 9 pm ($75 per plate)
Location: Gordon Tavern, 555 Oak Street, Eugene, OR
Who Can Come: Everybody who is interested, up to the capacity of the room
Description: We invite all those interested, including local community members and official TAC Festival
and Conference participants, to attend the Banquet and get to know one another. A Banquet highlight will
be the Festival Keynote Address by Michael Bott and Rupert Soskin, titled “Being There: How filming
Can Change Perceptions.”
Friends and colleagues in the UK since the late 1990s, Michael’s and Rupert’s shared fascination and
combined talents eventually culminated in the film Standing With Stones, which was greeted with acclaim
at TAC Festival 2010. In 2018, they began a podcast, which has since developed into The Prehistory
Guys, a YouTube channel focused on prehistoric archaeology with over 100,000 subscribers. Together,
collaborating with ALI, they have also guided popular TAC Tours of Britain, Ireland and Brittany, with a
much-anticipated “Tour of Scotland & the Isles” coming in September of 2026.
Menu choices will have chicken, potatoes, beans, and salad in a buffet, which includes vegan and gluten-free options.
