The New Reeltime Travelers:  This fresh ensemble of Oldtime musicians is a super group of sorts, featuring two original members of The Reeltime Travelers (mandolin, Thomas Sneed & banjo, Roy Andrade), along with Betse Ellis (fiddler from The Wilders), Eric Thorin (bass, Mollie O’brien, Open Road) and Carol Elizabeth Jones (guitar, vocals from North Carolina).  The Reeltime Travelers played in the North Fork Valley twice in the past, but not in quite a few years.  If you caught either of those shows though, or saw them in the movie Down From The Mountain with Emmylou Harris & Ralph Stanley, or on stage at Telluride, RockyGrass, MerleFest, etc, you know this is a band not to miss!  They’re well schooled in the tradition of Oldtime music but also meld several other styles of music (bluegrass, folk, country) to create an engaging and very entertaining show.

The Paradise Theater in Paonia is honoring Earth Day with the magic of cinema.  Year around and world wide, Telluride Mountainfilm Festival takes their show to the road with Mountainfilm on Tour.  Recognized as one of the longest running festivals in America, the tour programs offer a broad variety of  full-feature and short films on extreme adventures, environmental and social issues.  Returning to Paonia after a brief hiatus, we’ve hand-picked a selection of films including Living Downstream about biologist & activist Sandra Steingraber’s journey to link public health with environmental waste,  Industrial Revolutions, featuring trick cyclist Danny MacAskill from Scotland, and Among Giants, about a determined tree squatter’s commitment to save old-growth Redwood Forests in Northern California as well as several other films on extreme skiing, biking, climbing and humble living.  These films promise to be visually spectacular as well as inspiring!  We are happy to present two screenings of these films not to be missed on the big screen, Sunday, April 21st (3:00pm and 7:00pm).  Tickets are available in advance at KVNF Community Radio and The Paradise Theatre in Paonia as well as online at www.paradiseofpaoina.com.  Be inspired! We’ll see you there.

“We have been thrilled by the level of creativity in this year’s submissions and our judges have been equally impressed” said film festival Director, Amy De Luca.  Film industry judges from Los Angeles to Denver, will choose the winners in each category including Best Cinematography & Best Film.

The audiences will decide on 2 winners by voting first on the “What Matters Most Award” which is new to the festival and sponsored by the North Fork Heart & Soul Project.  Participants are asked to vote on the film that best expresses ‘what matters most’ to the filmmaker and or subject matter.   The second vote is for the “People’s Choice Award” for the Best overall film.    

There are 2 opportunities to see all the films selected by the festival;  Friday, May 3rd at 7pm or Saturday May 4th at 1pm at the Paradise Theatre in Paonia. Each screening will be followed by a Q & A with all of the filmmakers.  The formal Red Carpet Gala & Awards Ceremony will be catered by local foodies and screen only the award winning films on Saturday May 4th at 7pm. This multi-media event will not disappoint and has sold out the past two years, so get your tickets early!
