Standing Above the Clouds
2025-08-31 14:30 - 16:00 | Boedecker Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Aug 27-31
Standing Above the Clouds highlights the movement to protect Mauna Kea through the intergenerational stories of women in three Native Hawaiian families as they stand for the sacred mountain. The film follows teacher and community organizer Pua Case and her two daughters — artist-activists Hāwane Rios and Kapulei Flores — who have been called to stop the telescope since 2010. Their lives quickly become consumed with frontline actions and court proceedings and immersed in ceremonies and cultural practices. As they face opposition and arrests, they are joined by a community who have dedicated their lives to protecting Mauna Kea.
The film is an intimate journey through the women’s lives both on and off the mountain, and explores the physical and emotional toll of sustaining a grassroots movement. After nine months of living on the mountain, blocking construction, and establishing a frontline camp, Standing Above The Clouds shows their journey to heal once they return to their homes in March 2020. In the face of challenges and tragedy, the mountain gifts each woman with hope and strength and the understanding that victory is in standing in unity for sacred places and that healing occurs through the sisterhood they have created along the way.

Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name, DON’T LET’S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT captures the childhood of 8-year-old Bobo on her family farm in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) at the end of the Zimbabwean War for independence in 1980. Growing up in the midst of this long running war, Bobo internalizes both sides of the struggle. Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way. Through her eight-year-old gaze we witness Rhodesia’s final days, the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa, and the deep scars that war leaves on survivors.

Matt Flinner (mandolin), Ross Martin (guitar) and Eric Thorin first formed the Matt Flinner Trio in 2006, and they have become known as an adventurous group that often writes music on the day of any given show, and performs it that same night. Their willingness to take risks and explore the boundaries of what a bluegrass trio can do, combined with their love of traditional mountain music of Appalachia, creates a unique sound in the world of modern bluegrass that shows touches of old-time, jazz and chamber music. Their new CD on Compass Records, “Traveling Roots,” showcases not only their virtuosity, but their compositional sensibility as well.
“Flinner continues his reign as perhaps the most exciting and creative mandolin player on the scene today.”—Jazz Times
“(Flinner) blurs the lines between jazz and bluegrass, traditional and avant-garde.”—Associated Press
“Flinner provides the next logical evolutionary step to David Grisman’s unique ‘Dawg’ style, and does it with a nod to the past and a vision of the future.”—Bluegrass Now
Opening the show is Martin Gilmore, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Denver, Colorado. His music bridges traditional folk, bluegrass, and original compositions. His rich vocals and masterful guitar playing bring both authenticity and innovation to every song he performs. With a deep respect for musical traditions and a penchant for creative storytelling, Gilmore has built a reputation as a compelling artist in the American roots music scene.

In 1982 , a Buddhist monk teaching at the University of Madison, Wisconsin, made the bold request of the Dalai Lama to come and perform a rare ritual, never before done outside of India or Tibet: the Kalachakra, among the highest of the Buddhist tantric teachings. In just a few months, with a team of dedicated students, and cameras rolling, they constructed a temple and organized an event for over a thousand spiritual seekers, in a cornfield outside Madison. The incredible footage was tucked away in the Smithsonian vaults, until now. What unfolds is the story of a powerful ritual, its impact on the people that made it happen, and the meaning behind this ancient initiation. 76 minutes.

Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet: LOLA RUN
2025-09-13 19:00 - 20:00 | Gordon Gamm Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS

A Mesmerizing New Work by Internationally Recognized Choreographer Robert Sher-Machherndl in Collaboration with Renowned Concert Pianist George Lopez
Lemon Sponge Cake performs the mesmerizing poetry of LOLA RUN, a new work by choreographer Robert Sher-Machherndl. With a lean, elegant, modernist, almost mechanical impressionism, the audience faces the beauty of how bodies move in space without explanation. Sher-Machherndl takes movements and gestures, some of which recognizable from everyday life and transforms them into a style of dance that doesn’t tell what to think, what to feel, or what to believe. A new form of beauty stripped of signposts and melodrama.
“… it’s my curiosity that drives me to uncover new movement language, to redirect one’s mind, and take the audience on an intriguing journey,” says Sher-Machherndl.
Sher-Machherndl and dancers are to share the stage with highly-accomplished guest artist and dynamic concert pianist George Lopez, a Bowdoin College Artist in Residence.
“Working with Robert Sher-Machherndl again after almost ten years is a real joy. He’s such a creative force—so spontaneous and deeply musical. I love how his choreography with Lemon Sponge Cake feels both free and grounded. It will be a fun and inspiring collaboration, and I’m excited to see where the movement and music take us this time.” says George Lopez.
Lemon Sponge Cake operates in a place full of curious combinations and in doing so gives a world as big, and as deep, and with as many possibilities as the world we live in. You must sometimes dig for it, that’s for sure, but in every production there’s a freedom offered, a freedom that empowers the audience to follow its own path with the piece without the fear of being ‘wrong’.
“ … highlight of the program.” – The New York Times.
“When your way of seeing beauty is changed, your way of seeing the world is changed. It’s this that makes Lemon Sponge Cake Contemporary Ballet Company so irreplaceable and vital to the cultural conversation around art’s place in society. With the ‘Technological Age’ about to enter a new and uncertain chapter with the advent of AI as part of daily life, of fact and fiction being almost impossible to tell apart, I can think of no greater place, no more important a place, no more essential a place for an artist to create than a world that reminds us to create our own beauty. Lemon Sponge acts like a solvent on reality, and with it, we’re given a chance to see beauty in everything.” Michael French | Director Writer

O MOTHER GAIA – THE WORLD OF GARY SNYDER, director Colin Still
This is the first feature-length film documenting the life and work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet/activist Gary Snyder. A participant in the famed 1955 Six Gallery poetry reading in San Francisco that launched the Beat era (and the careers of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac), Snyder later lived and studied in Japan, becoming a Zen teacher. He is the model for the character of Japhy Ryder in Jack Kerouac’s bestselling novel, The Dharma Bums.
The film was skillfully assembled and remastered from the filmmaker’s original 1990s 16mm footage shot for British television, and offers a vivid self portrait of the famously elusive poet and essayist through his poems and commentary. Filmed on location at his Kitkitdizzie/Ring of Bone Zendo home in the Sierra and other locations connected with him, it also features key archival footage from the 1950s and 1960s, as well as contemporaneous readings and commentary by Peter Coyote, Jane Hirshfield, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Shoemaker, and Michael McClure, and a precious interview with Snyder’s late wife Carole Koda. 102 minutes.
