Even with
the rise you tube and other internet sources for hosting and watching
movies and documentaries, I believe that film festivals remain an
important venue for movie watching.
Anthony Foreman and
everyone associated with Trail Dance have a tremendous job putting
together this festival. Trail dance has been recognized at the state
level by receiving the rose bud award and at the national level twice by
Movie maker magazine for being a top 25 festival worth the entry fee
and for being one of the coolest film festivals. This is an impressive
record for a festival that is only 6 years old.
Besides watching
movies in the way they are meant to be watched, which is on a large
screen in a darkened room, film festivals provide unique opportunities
for people to get together to discuss and celebrate movie and
documentary making.
I hope you will take the time to come to
Duncan to attend the Trail Dance Film Festival this year. It is being
held January 25th- 26th. While we expect you to
watch “The Secret of Sarah Pennington,” try to view some of the other
pictures screening there. See you at Trail Dance!
