Coming Up - Telluride Mountainfilm Festival
February 27, 2008
This is a preemptive gig report on something that hasn’t happened but is going to be happening before you know it. Starting on May 23rd and running through the 26th the festival draws films and people from all over the world to share in the fun, inspiration and education that is Telluride Mountainfilm. Dedicated this year to the late Sir Edmund Hillary.
To act as an impetus for change, the festival continues to explore critical environmental, social and political issues. Some films to keep an eye out on are: Drilling Down, Hot Spots Around the World and Contemporary Slavery.
Just as important as getting involved in the issues that concern our planet and those that live there, is getting inspired to get out there and enjoy it! The outdoors have always been a place for meditation, inspiration and lest we forget … FUN! Come join us and the good folks of the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival for a great time spent high in the saddle of the Colorado mountains.
Here’s a little letter from one of those fine folks:
If every day is an adventure – and it is – then the four days of Mountainfilm in Telluride are an exploration, expedition and odyssey all rolled into one.
For our 30th annual celebration of indomitable spirit, festival director David Holbrooke is lining up a truly extraordinary schedule of films, speakers, exhibitions and events that are guaranteed to inspire, educate and entertain.
Early Bird passes are on sale now for America’s premier festival of mountain, adventure, environmental and cultural films. For information and on-line purchases, please visit us at www.mountainfilm.org.
Plan your Mountainfilm adventure now. Join us and our generous, long-time supporters from Horny Toad this Memorial Day weekend in Telluride. Come see what the late Galen Rowell meant when summed up Mountainfilm in Telluride as “great films, great place, great people.”
Peter Kenworthy
