BOZEMAN – The Bozeman Film Festival and Ranchwater Films are prescreening “Winter In The Blood” Friday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. in the Emerson’s Crawford Theater. At 6:30 p.m., director Andrew Smith will be present in the lobby for a meet-and-greet social hour. Smith will introduce the film then host a Q-and-A after the screening.
In their first movie since “The Slaughter Rule,” twin directors Alex and Andrew Smith have made a hauntingly beautiful film that is true to the lyrical and unflinching spirit of James Welch’s classic 1974 novel about Native American life upon which it is based.
In the film, Virgil First Raise (Chaske Spencer), a Blackfoot American Indian, wakes in a ditch on the hardscrabble plains of Montana, hungover and badly beaten. He returns to his ranch on the reservation to find that his wife Agnes (Julia Jones) has left him. Worse, she’s taken his beloved rifle.
Virgil sets out to town find Agnes – or perhaps just the gun – beginning a Hi-Line odyssey alongside the mysterious “Airplane Man” (David Morse), a beautiful barmaid, and two dangerous men in suits. The viewer cannot be sure if these traveling partners are real, or if they’re spirits guiding him away from his true path, but ultimately, Virgil’s quest brings him face-to-face with childhood memories of his beloved lost brother Mose.
Recipient of the first Montana Film Office Big Sky Film Grant, “Winter In The Blood” was filmed around the Montana Hi-Line communities of Havre, Chinook, and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy Reservations, with strong community and tribal involvement.
“[The] sense of reality and storytelling coming together is especially strong,” said Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times.
Rated PG-13, the film runs 105 minutes and also features Michael Spears (“Dances with Wolves”) and associate producer Sherman Alexie. Tickets are available beginning April 25 at Cactus Records, and in the Emerson’s lobby one hour before the film.

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.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
