BOZEMAN – On Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. at the Emerson, the Bozeman Doc Series is excited to present the Montana premiere of the new documentary, “River,” from award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Peedom.
The screening will be preceded at 6:00 p.m. by a reception in the Emerson ballroom with food and drink, as well as Earth Day information and opportunities from event sponsors Gallatin Valley Earth Day, The Nature Conservancy, Western Sustainability Exchange, Gallatin Watershed Council, The Greater Yellowstone Coalition and Broken Ground Permaculture. The reception will also feature our annual Bozeman Doc Series silent auction with items from sponsors such as Red Tractor Pizza, The Lark, Reintegrative Massage and many more.
Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys, flowed through our cultures and dreams. “River”takes its audience on a journey through space and time: spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before. Its union of image, music and sparse, poetic script create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honoring the wildness of rivers but also recognizing their vulnerability.
Filmed in 39 countries, “River” is a cinematic and musical odyssey that explores the remarkable relationship between humans and rivers written by acclaimed author Robert Macfarlane, with music by Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, and featuring music by Jonny Greenwood and Radiohead and narration by Willem Dafoe.
“River” world premiered at last fall’s prestigious Telluride Film Festival to widespread critical acclaim.
“Four Stars…Serenity, wonderment and worry mix in this awe-inspiring, musical tour of the Earth’s waterways. Jennifer Peedom and Joseph Nizeti’s sparklingly visual, Nat Geo-like tour of the world’s great waterways wants to dazzle us and shake us from our complacency – and it manages both in style.”
– Time Out
“Spectacular…a hypnotic experience – and an audacious one – given the film’s stately pace and scorn for action…but it’s put together with such a finely tuned instinct for the sensuous power of the earth’s splendors that it’s very seductive.”
– The Sydney Morning Herald
“Gorgeous and meditative…a mesmerizing call to arms as Peedom shows not only the beauty of our rivers but also how they function in the larger ecosystem…Utilizing gorgeous footage of these rivers to their maximum effect, “River” will make you rethink your relationship to the natural world.”
– Collider

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
