    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!

  • General & Technical Information on Playing the Musical
    General & Technical Information On Playing The Musical Saw As Played By Morgan Cowin (10/24/2006) © Morgan Cowin 2006 Phone me at my photography business: (415)459-7722 Or Email: [email protected] Since I don't know what you already know, (I hope you've got some time...), following is probably more than you'll ever want or need to know about the musical saw. If played on pitch and with little bow noise, the musical saw produces a beautiful, clean, pure sound. I often describe it as being similar to whistling, but with a slightly more metallic (of course) timbre. While most people use the traditional sitting posture, I play standing up, so you may be interested in this different style which I will describe below, but much of the information is valid no matter what syle you use. I won first place at the "1982 Festival of the Saws" in Santa Cruz, CA, and - having played the saw since about 1971 - I am often asked to give advice on my saw-playing techniques. A lot of styles of playing have evolved around the world, but few people do it the way I do. But, I'm considered among the best players in the world, so hopefully you'll learn something and benefit from what I've written. I'm not a professional performer or entertainer - just a man that loves to play music and loves the pure, clear voice of the saw. Little-known musical trivia: As far as I know, the saw is the only musical instrument that can still be played after stirring a fire.
