    logo_friendsoftheverderiverCottonwood AZ (December 27, 2019) – Friends of the Verde River (Friends), along with Prescott Creeks, is excited to announce the upcoming Wild and Scenic Film Festival, to be held on January 11, 2020 at the newly upgraded Phillip England Performing Arts Center in Camp Verde, and January 18, 2020 at the historic Elks Theater in Prescott. A carefully curated selection of films will be screened at both locations on both dates at 3:30pm and 6:30pm, with distinct film lineups at both show times. Tickets may be purchased for $15 for one showing at either 3:30 or 6:30 pm or $25 for a “double feature” package. 

    The Wild and Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental protection and connection to nature through film. Friends is thrilled to present a unique selection of films, including an exclusive screening of Seldom Seen Sleight. As a rafting outfitter in the 1950’s, Ken Sleight built his life around the Colorado River’s Glen Canyon. He became one of the Glen’s most passionate advocates when it disappeared beneath the waters of Lake Powell in 1963. Today, at 88 years old, Ken remains dedicated to the fight to see his beloved canyons returned to their former glory. This beautiful film shows archival views of Glen Canyon being filled in real time, with Sleight and other boaters staying in the canyon as long as they could. 

    Other films that will be screened include A New View of the Moon, Forest on Fire, March of the Newts, Too Precious to Mine, and Seeds of Hope, among others. Topics cover a broad range of themes, including environmental activism, wildlife conservation, landscape stewardship, and strategies for drawing people into closer connection with the natural world.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
