Bring Them Home/Aiskótáhkapiyaaya chronicles a decades-long initiative by members of the Blackfoot Confederacy to bring wild buffalo (Blackfeet: iinnii) back to the Blackfeet Reservation. A thriving wild buffalo population would not only reconnect Blackfeet with a central part of their heritage, spirituality, and identity but would also provide economic opportunities and healing for the community. Along the way, however, the initiative faces obstacles from ranchers who see the buffalo as a threat to the cattle ranches that dominate the land and are a legacy of colonization.

A special screening presented by Sundance Film Festival and Dairy Center for the Arts
A gently humanist story of the American West from Max Walker-Silverman (A Love Song), Rebuilding follows Dusty (Josh O’Connor), a reserved, divorced father whose ranch has burned down in a devastating wildfire. Now living in a trailer community on a government-run campsite, Dusty finds solace with his new neighbors who have also lost everything, quietly reassembles his life, and starts reconnecting with his ex-wife Ruby (Meghann Fahy) and young daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre). Filmed against the rapturous backdrop of southern Colorado, Rebuilding is a ruminative, moving portrait of resilience and human connection in the wake of loss.
Rebuilding premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and will be released in theaters on November 14, 2025. Film courtesy of Bleecker Street.

TICKETS
THE FOUR SEASONS featuring Vadim Gluzman with COmpass REsonance
From North African winds to the Adriatic Sea’s microclimates, Venice boasts some of Europe’s most captivating seasonal shifts—and no music captures the essence of Venetian life year-round quite like Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons.” Imagine gazing out your window during a summer storm, mosquitoes humming, dogs barking, wild winter winds sweeping through, the enchantment of a quiet snowfall, and the exuberance of sunny springtime—these four concertos encapsulate it all!
Renowned globally for his extraordinary artistry, violinist Vadim Gluzman brings his unparalleled interpretation of these beloved baroque masterpieces to life. Accompanying the performance, the evocative sonnets included in Vivaldi’s original manuscript will be recited, transporting audiences into the vivid natural world that inspired these timeless works. Interwoven between Vivaldi’s concertos, Gluzman will present poignant contemporary solo violin pieces by Ukrainian composer Valentyn Silvestrov, who fled his homeland amidst conflict. This compelling musical dialogue traverses eras, offering a striking contrast and a profound experience of musical time travel.
Performances by Vadim Gluzman in the world’s leading concert halls consistently sell out—hearing him in the intimate setting of The Dairy is a rare and extraordinary opportunity, echoing the intimate ambiance of Vivaldi’s original 18th-century Venetian performances.
COmpass REsonance (CORE) is a conductorless ensemble uniting acclaimed musicians from across the U.S. alongside Colorado’s finest talents. CORE’s artists, comprising concertmasters, principal orchestral players, and distinguished quartet performers from Asia, Europe, and North America, gather in Boulder to present innovative musical experiences that transcend time and culture.
“Gluzman… demonstrated his mastery from the start, dominating the platform with his golden tone and command of the long lyrical line. His rich, warm, and generous sound… soared above the orchestra… and he entered into the music’s rough and tumble with virtuoso abandon. Vintage stuff.” -Musical America

Köln 75 | Oct. 21-25
2025-10-21 16:30 - 18:00 | Boedecker Theater, Walnut Street, Boulder, CO, 80302, United States
TICKETS
Keith Jarrett’s legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn’t happen. Based on a true story, Köln 75 follows how the concert was conceived and orchestrated by the efforts of a teenage up and coming concert promoter, Vera Brandes, (played by German actress Mala Emde). Her enthusiasm set her to multitasking – from organizing the concert venue (the Cologne Opera House), promoting the event, and selling the tickets, to convincing Jarrett to perform when he almost dropped out when the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano he was promised was nowhere to be found. John Magaro plays Jarrett with his own intensity, a sublime counterpoint to Mala Emde’s joyful portrayal of the enthusiastic and unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling, entertaining and, until now, unknown back story about Jarrett’s one-hour, entirely improvised concert, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.

Approximately 200,000 New York City public school students are dyslexic, yet there is no public initiative that provides the specialized skill and care necessary for these learners.
Frustrated that they had to remove their own kids from the public school system, a group of determined moms band together to do something that’s never been done before – open New York City’s first public school for dyslexic students. The journey is not a smooth ride, and they face both institutional and personal hurdles as they try to upend a system .
A new mayoral candidate bolsters their fight after he reveals his own dyslexia. But will they be able to convince a bureaucratic education system to overhaul outdated politics to ensure a brighter future for the city’s dyslexic youth?
