Working Copy.Indd Dear Friends... Welcome to the 2009 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival! Now in our sixth year, we are again pleased to present Missoula with the best in documentary film from around the world. The 2009 installment includes 143 extraordinary films from more than 30 countries, a selection chosen from nearly 1000 submissions. The program is truly distinguished, offering the most diverse exhibition of work to ever screen under the Big Sky. This year’s films cover the gamut of possibilities within the non-fiction form, with topics ranging from the ivory-billed woodpecker to art cars; from rock docs to opera; from Antarctica to Swaziland! Special Features include retrospectives of filmmakers Ron Mann & Joe Berlinger (both in attendance) and live musical accompaniment to silent film by the world renowned Alloy Orchestra. Downtown Missoula’s historic Wilma Theatre, the 1100-seat venue that houses Montana’s largest screen, once again hosts a visual immersion into a world where reality plays itself. With packed audiences of avid moviegoers, most films are accompanied by a Q&A with their respective filmmakers. We cordially invite you to the Wilma Theatre, February 13 - 22, 2009, as we showcase the best in compelling and artistic nonfiction film. Enjoy!

  • Com.Stampa GOGOL BORDELLO @ Meeting Del Mare 2014
    COMUNICATO STAMPA Si terrà dal 30 maggio all’1 giugno a Marina di Camerota (SA) la XVIII edizione del Meeting del Mare . Il festival ideato e diretto da don Gianni Citro , nato nel 1997, nel corso di questi anni ha ospitato grandi nomi della musica italiana: Vinicio Capossela, Franco Battiato, Piero Pelù, Subsonica, Caparezza, Afterhours, Elio e le storie tese, Morgan, Baustelle, Roy Paci, solo per citarne alcuni. Adesso, raggiunta la maggiore età, si regala una band internazionale dal grande impatto live, molto amata in Italia. Saranno infatti i GOGOL BORDELLO gli headliner della terza serata, in programma domenica 1 giugno al porto della cittadina cilentana (ingresso gratuito). Il travolgente combo gipsy-punk guidato da Eugene Hutz torna nel nostro paese per tre date – oltre al Meeting del Mare si esibiranno anche a Bologna (Rock in Idro, 31 maggio) e Milano (Carroponte, 4 giugno) – con il loro euforico show a seguito della pubblicazione dell’ultimo lavoro discografico “Pura Vida Conspiracy ”. Pubblicato lo scorso luglio per l’etichetta ATO Records/Casa Gogol Records, l’album è stato registrato in Texas ai Sonic Ranch Studio di El Paso e prodotto da Andrew Scheps . 12 tracce che seguono la scia dei precedenti lavori, su tutti “ Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike ” (2005, prodotto da Steve Albini ), “Super Taranta! ” (2007, prodotto da Victor Van Vugt ) e “ Trans- Continental Hustle ” (2010, prodotto da Rick Rubin ). Quello di Marina di Camerota si annuncia come uno concerto dirompente ed energico, tutto da ballare in riva al mare sulle note della patchanka musicale tipica di questa incredibile formazione e del suo carismatico leader.

  • DOCUMENTARY FILMS Page 1 of 10
    DOCUMENTARY FILMS Page 1 of 10 DOCUMENTARY FILMS Documentary Films, strictly speaking, are non-fictional, "slice of life" factual works of art - and sometimes known as cinema verite. For many years, as films became more narrative- based, documentaries branched out and took many forms since their early beginnings - some of which have been termed propagandistic or non-objective. Documentary films have comprised a very broad and diverse category of films. Examples of documentary forms include the following: z 'biographical' films about a living or dead person (Madonna, John Lennon, Muhammad Ali - When We Were Kings (1996), Robert Crumb, Stephen Hawking in A Brief History of Time (1992), or Glenn Gould) z a well-known event (Waco, Texas incident, the Holocaust, the Shackleton expedition to the Antarctic) z a concert or rock festival (Woodstock or Altamont rock concerts, Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991), Stop Making Sense (1984)) z a comedy show (Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy shows) z a live performance (Cuban musicians as in Buena Vista Social Club (1998), or the stage show Cirque du Soleil-Journey of Man (2000)) z a sociological or ethnographic examination following the lives of individuals over a period of time (e.g., Michael Apted's series of films: 28 Up (1984), 35 Up (1992) and 42 Up (1999), or Steve James' Hoop Dreams (1994)) z an expose including interviews (e.g., Michael Moore's social concerns films) z a sports documentary (extreme sports, such as Extreme (1999) or To the Limit (1989), or surfing, such as in The Endless Summer (1966))

But one shop in the heart of the Village remains resilient to the encroaching gentrification: Carmine Street Guitars. There, custom guitar maker Rick Kelly and his young apprentice Cindy Hulej, build handcrafted guitars out of reclaimed wood from old hotels, bars, churches and other local buildings. Nothing looks or sounds quite like a Rick Kelly guitar, which is the reason they are embraced by the likes of Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch, just to name a few.

[email protected] The death of Elizabeth Taylor on Wednesday drew expressions of sadness and admiration from AIDS and LGBT activists in D.C., who said they were honored that the city’s Whitman-Walker Clinic build- ing that bears her name would serve as a local legacy to the famous actress. Taylor, a two-time Academy Award-winning actress who starred in more than 50 fi lms over a period of nearly 70 years, died at a hospital in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure. She was 79. “She was an extraordinary personality and it’s a wonderful feeling that we have a little part of her legacy right here on 14th Street, said gay D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1). Graham served as executive director of the Whitman-Walker Clinic in November 1993, when Taylor came to D.C. for a ceremony to dedi- cate the Clinic’s main building for patient services as the Elizabeth Taylor Medical Center.
