Join us on November 16th for the third screening of the Bozeman Doc Series! Official selection of the Sundance Film Festival and the 2014 Winner in Documentary Editing at the Ashland Film Festival, Marmato will be screened at the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture.

Every day in Marmato, a shimmering Colombian mountain town, families pray for safety as their men walk out their doors and down into the mines, scratching out a living with little more than shovels and outdated sulphur lamps. Beneath their village lies one of the largest gold reserves on the planet. In 2006, the Colombian government invited foreign investment to the region to stimulate economic growth, unleashing a corporate gold rush. As plans progress to destroy residents’ homes and level the beautiful mountaintop for an open-pit mine, Marmato charts the mounting crisis as the local community struggles to protect its way of life and economic sovereignty.

Filmed over the course of 6 years, MARMATO, winner of the Best Documentary award at the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival, is a canvas of magic realism and the confrontation with globalized mining.

Join us on November 2nd at the Emerson Center for the Arts and Culture at 7 PM for the second screening of the Bozeman Doc Series with the recently released documentary Waiting for August by filmmaker Teodora Ana Mihai. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

“Waiting for August follows Georgiana Halmac who turns 15 this winter. She lives with her six brothers and sisters in a social housing condo on the outskirts of Bacau, Romania. Their mother Liliana was forced to leave her family behind to go to Turin, Italy, to earn money. She won’t be back before summer. During their mother’s absence, Georgiana has been catapulted into the role of head of the family, responsible for her siblings cutting her adolescence short.

Caught between puberty and responsibility, Georgiana moves ahead, improvising as she goes. Phone conversations with her mom are her only guidelines. Intimate scenes from the daily life of the seven siblings show us – in an uncensored, fly-on-the-wall style – how real events are experienced and interpreted with great imagination by the children.

You can’t help being amazed by their ingenuity, while also realizing how precarious their daily equilibrium is.”

Join us for the opening night of the first Bozeman Doc Series season! We will be kicking off the inaugural season with Virunga by director Orlando Von Einsiedel that follows a group of park rangers in the Virunga National Park of the Congo.
