Why has iPhoto deleted my latest events?

I recently upgraded my new current-model iMac to Mavericks and the latest iPhoto, then installed my existing iPhoto library, which was dutifully upgraded etc.

All seemed to be working well and I imported a large number of recent photos that were correctly indexed into new Events. However, now when I open iPhoto it won't show any Events since approximately 2010.

These photos are all visible when I click on Photos, and they are still correctly sorted into Events within the Photos view – so I know they are in the iPhoto database. However, they are not showing up as Events even though they did so when I previously imported them. iPhoto simply seems to have forgotten them, and forgotten other events added in the last three years for good measure.

Any tips on how I can fix this? Thanks!

iPhoto '11, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Select one of the affected photos in Photos View and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show Event'

If the pics are in Photos view then they are also in Events view. Photos and Events are just two ways of looking at the same Library - different doors to exactly the same room. It can happen that Events are not where you expect them because the Sorting have changed (View Menu -> Sort Events) or the date on the camera is wring.
