Telluride films of ‘indomitable spirit’ arriving in Dolores

Event is a fundraiser for Dolores River Festival

Mountainfilm on Tour brings inspiration and education about important issues to audiences around the world. The tour will visit Dolores on April 22 at the Dolores Community Center, 400 Riverside Ave.

Documentary films will explore the themes connected to Telluride Mountainfilm’s mission to use the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.

Established in 1979, Mountainfilm’s flagship event is the renowned Telluride Mountainfilm festival, a four-day event held each Memorial Day weekend in Telluride. The festival has attracted leading documentary filmmakers, artists, photographers, conservationists, mountaineers, scientists, journalists and explorers from around the world to engage in the festival’s tag line of “celebrating indomitable spirit.”

Mountainfilm on Tour shares a selection of the films from the annual festival with audiences around the globe. The tour reaches over 50,000 people on six continents.

The Dolores show begins promptly at 6:30 p.m., and doors open at 6 p.m. A Mountainfilm on Tour representative will introduce the films and engage the audience in discussion after the films. This is the annual fundraising event for the Dolores River Festival. This annual event also features a silent auction of outdoor gear, local good, services and art. Food and beverages will also be available for purchase. There will be a kids room with crafts and movies for the younger ones to enjoy.

Tickets for Mountainfilm on Tour in Dolores can be purchased the night of the event at the Dolores Community Center. The cost for each show is $10 per adult and free for children 12 and under. See the complete play list at www.mountainfilm.org/tour/upcoming.
