Wednesday night at 7:00 is your chance to see the award-winning documentary, The Cove. It will be screening at the Park City Library, followed by a discussion with the Oceanic Preservation Society. If you'll recall, I briefly mentioned this film in my article about Impact Partner's Geralyn White Dreyfous.
The Sundance Institute's website gives the following description of the film:
The largest supplier of dolphins in the world is located in the picturesque town of Taiji, Japan but the town has a dark, horrifying secret hidden from the rest of the world. The only way to stop the evil acts of one company, and the town's protection of it, is to expose them. Armed with state-of-the-art surveillance equipment, a band of activists, led by the most famous dolphin trainer in the world, devise a plan to infiltrate the cove to document the events that happen there.
Winner of the Sundance Film Festival's prestigious Audience Award, this is one documentary you will certainly not want to miss!
Hopefully some of my readers are at the SLC Film Center's showing of Shouting Fire at this very moment. If so, please leave me a comment telling me your thoughts about it.

Still Going?
I'd realized I hadn't blogged on here in a long time. It's been just over a month. I'm sorry.
It's been about 10 weeks since I've written anything on here with any substance. Again, I apologize.
I can't decide whether I have the time or gumption to keep this blog going. Any thoughts?

Tonight: Desert Secrets Film Series
From the website:
The Utah Museum of Fine Arts presents the Fine Arts Film Series designed to provide additional insight into current UMFA exhibitions. Films are shown in the UMFA Katherine W. and Ezekiel R. Dumke Jr. Auditorium at various times throughout the year. The films are all free to the public.
Punishment Park
Wednesday, August 26 • 6 pm • Rated R for violence and language
Post-film discussion with Rocky Anderson
In this cinéma vérité-style pseudo-documentary, a group of draft dodgers and counterculture youth are banished to the desert, where they are detained and made to play a bizarre game resembling capture the flag. Almost forty years later, Punishment Park resonates eerily with our contemporary political climate. Directed by Peter Watkins (1971), this film is rated “R” for violence and language. Rocky Anderson, former mayor of SLC and executive director of High Road for Human Rights, will conduct a post-film discussion.

Riding Giants, Stacy Peralta's surfing sequel to his Sundance debut and award winner, Dogtown and Z-Boys, is a multi-generational insider's look at the origins of surfing, the colorful and subversive birth of surf culture, and the mythology and lure of the "big wave."
