Since forming in 1990, the Old Blind Dogs have stood on the cutting edge of Scotland’s roots revival. Taking their name from an Old-timey American song, the band has developed its own trademark style, with dynamic percussion and bluesy harmonica fueling the delicately-phrased melodies of traditional songs. In 2004, the Dogs won the coveted Folk Band of the Year honor at the Scottish Trad Music Awards. Old Blind Dogs’ roots are in Aberdeenshire on Scotland’s northeast coast, an area steeped in traditional songs and fiddle tunes.
On Four On The Floor, (their tenth release and first as a quartet) their energetic mix of soaring fiddle playing and stirring pipes, punctuated with the pulse of djembe and conga, has audiences dancing in the aisles. The Dogs tour the globe from intimate clubs to international festivals, including a performance before England’s Prince Charles, a confirmed fan. “Old Blind Dogs play with a compelling energy and intoxicating rhythm,” says The Scotsman, “as players and audience seem to share a wild ecstasy of emotion.”
Burning Man-New Documentary with Filmmaker Q & A (pre-sale tickets at BuyOlympia.com and at theater nite of show)
Dust & Illusions looks at 30 years of history of Burning Man all the way back to the late 1970s deep into the origins of the event. Through 21 interviewees the film presents the philosophies that fueled the creation of the festival, and its evolution from a small gathering of friends to the largest “counter-cultural” event in North America. It offers a new perspective of the meaning of the event, and questions whether its organizers are more concerned about making sure the show is ready when the gate opens or they still truly engage in building a community and fostering art.
Burning Man started officially in 1986, on a god-like vision of Larry Harvey… well at least that’s what he says. Harvey had been living a pretty hermit like life with his girlfriend in Oregon until 1978 when he moved to San Francisco. There he met diverse groups of creative people, that certainly influenced him to go down to Baker beach with his friend Jerry James and other carpenters and burn the first little Wicker Man like effigy.
Later on the event kept happening on Baker Beach until 1990, where police stopped them from burning it. The San Francisco Cacophony Society was organizing a Zone Trip (excursion of their own) to the Black Rock Desert 2 months later and invited the Burning Man to come with them on Labor Day of 1990 (September). There were 89 people.
Eventually the little gathering grew into a large scale festival, that features a large amount of Art specifically built for the event by people from all over the world, but mostly within the United States. Nowadays what makes the event still unique is its location (the Black Rock desert is a federally protected natural preserve 200km from the first city Reno), its concept (the organizers take care of the legal permits, the infrastructure, but do not bring any of the Art and entertainment available during the event. That is brought by the participants themselves to their own costs) and its length (it goes on for 8 full days).

Set in the weeks leading up to the 2008 presidential election, The Girlfriend Experience is five days in the life of Chelsea, an ultra high-end Manhattan call girl who offers more than sex to her clients, but companionship and conversation – “the girlfriend experience.” Chelsea thinks she has her life totally under control—she feels her future is secure because she runs her own business her own way, makes $2000 an hour, and has a devoted boyfriend who accepts her lifestyle. But when you're in the business of meeting people, you never know who you're going to meet.
Filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson) weave this fictional introspective sports drama concerning a talented Dominican baseball player who longs to break into the American big league and earn the money needed to support his family. Miguel Santos is a talented pitcher who might just have what it takes to earn a prized spot on a Major League Baseball team, but before that happens he’ll have to prove his worth in the minor leagues. Advancing into the United States’ minor league system at the tender age of 19, Miguel is warmly welcomed into the small-town Iowa home of his host family, but can’t help but struggle with language and cultural barriers despite the kindness of strangers. “A moving, surprising and provocative baseball flick that rises immediately to No. 1 with a bullet on my personal list.” Salon.com Andrew O’Heh

“An Inconvenient Truth” for our current food crisis, “Food Inc.” takes you backwards along the food production process from the supermarkets to the factories, processing plants, and super-size farming conglomerates, and forward to the tragic victims of the ever-accelerating disconnect between the nourishment we need and the “food” we eat, between our images and the reality of farming and food production. Manohla Dargis of the New York Times calls it “one of the scariest movies of the year… You’ll shudder, shake and just possibly lose your genetically modified lunch.”

In 1922, Madrid, a group of soon to be iconoclastic artists congregate in a boarding school during their turbulent youth: the master of Surrealism, Salvador Dahli (Robert Pattinson), legendary filmmaker, Luis Bunuel, and celebrated poet, Fredrico Garcia Lorca form an unlikely bond that will shape their lives forever. In Little Ashes, this intriguing friendship is explored in detail analyzing how each young man grew from idealistic, strangely talented youth, into the artistic legends they will eventually become. Passion, inspiration, and heated sexuality mark this historical reflection of a time when the impulsiveness of youth could transform into some of the most renowned artistic talents ever known.

The Occupation is a Seattle-based indie rock band. A colabaration born of friendship, love, laughter, and unashamed anthemic rock.
Formed in 2008, and consisting of several members from successful N.W. bands (Ordinary State, Stereodrive, Fight For Change) The Occupation is the number one "employer" of the fearless. Reminiscent of bands such as U2, The Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon, The Occupation boldly blend elements of classic arena-style rock with modern pop. Sweeping melodies layer on top of one another, powerful rhythms combine. Crafty voices sing out catchy phrases. Complementary minds express desire to connect.
The Occupation recorded their recent "Sweet Falcon" E.P. at Avast! studios in Seattle, WA, under the guidance of Cam Nichlaus and Stuart Hallerman. Their energetic live performance currently features songs from their E.P. as well as material from their forthcoming debut album. You can hear them at: www.theoccupation.com

When her conservative mother (Patricia Clarkson) arrives, all hell breaks loose as Mom tries to drive her daughter away from the old guy and toward a much younger model. Also starring Ed Begley, Jr., Michael McKean, and Henry Cavill (The Tudors), Whatever Works "is one of the prolific Allen's most consistently amusing works in a long time."

Based on a real-life Israeli legal case, “Lemon Tree” is the story of a Palestinian widow’s fight to prevent her grove of lemon trees from being destroyed in the name of security after the Israeli Defense Minister moves next door. Rather than accept the decree that her lemon grove is to be uprooted, Salma decides to fight the matter through the Israeli legal system. Stephen Holden of the New York Times calls it “a wrenching, richly layered feminist allegory as well as a geopolitical one.”

Goodbye Solo is from award winning US director Ramin Bahrani, who directed Chop Shop and Man Push Cart.
Solo is an African immigrant working as a cabdriver in a big city. He appreciates his job and his life, even when things get complicated.

Based on a real-life Israeli legal case, “Lemon Tree” is the story of a Palestinian widow’s fight to prevent her grove of lemon trees from being destroyed in the name of security after the Israeli Defense Minister moves next door. Rather than accept the decree that her lemon grove is to be uprooted, Salma decides to fight the matter through the Israeli legal system. Stephen Holden of the New York Times calls it “a wrenching, richly layered feminist allegory as well as a geopolitical one.”
