glacier_dup1 Posted January 9, 2002 Posted January 9, 2002 A friend forwarded this to me today, and y'all may be interested. Proceeds go to benfit the NW Avalanche Center, as well... ?the MountainFilm in Telluride on Tour is coming to Seattle for the first time on Jan .19th. I?ve never seen this show but thought I?d check it out and invite you to check it out too. Here?s a blurb I found on the web about it? ?MOUNTAINFILM has been drawing diverse and faithful audiences to Telluride for 22 years to take part in a four-day, four-theater festival about which actor Andre Gregory says, ?I can?t think of another event which so opened my eyes, shocked me and filled me with wonder. There are other film festivals which are aesthetically interesting, but none others that I know of (that are) so politically, socially, culturally and environmentally important.? The Telluride festival is dedicated to sustaining an appreciation for the uniqueness of the mountain environment, linkages between alpine cultures and communities, and to the arts, cultures and adventures that set these regions apart. Whether it is a story of gripping adventure, a struggle for environmental justice or an intimate glimpse into another world, MOUNTAINFILM seamlessly weaves travel, unique personalities and important social messages into a thrilling evening of film. The festival expresses its commitment to social change by introducing educational and environmental messages within an inspirational context. Each element of MOUNTAINFILM conveys knowledge about such topics as biodiversity in the depths of the Amazon rainforest, an octogenarian?s courage on the slopes of a high peak in Antarctica, or the community struggles at a garden in Manhattan.?
