WILDERNESS WAY FILM FEST
The first annual Film Fest will be at the San Geronimo Valley Community Center shown on three consecutive Wednesdays in September. Wilderness Way documents its school projects and activities in the Lagunitas School District; Valley restoration projects; major environmental events and has started interviewing Valley elders for its "Elders of the Valley" film collection.
“SANTA BERENSMEIER’S SUPERIMPOSITIONS”
Wednesday, September 13, 7:30 pm
This series has not be seen in 25 years. Superimpositions are a unique technique, superimposing one slide over another, invented by Fred. He was a legend in his own time and left an indelible impression on whoever he met regardless of age. Residents who knew him as Santa and for his love of nature, poetry and stories, will marvel at these images.
“SAVING THE VALLEY”
Wednesday, September 20, 7:30 pm
Paul Berensmeier selected an interview of his mother from his ‘Elders of the Valley” film collection to show on the night of her 75th birthday. He recorded his mother’s childhood epiphany in the Nevada desert that has guided her life, how she discovered the San Geronimo Valley, her introduction to environmental politics and her many stories to “Save the Valley” from the ‘50’s to date.
“THE SAN GERONIMO VALLEY. . .
AN UNFINISHED JOURNEY”
Wednesday, September 27, 7:30 pm
Paul Berensmeier has hundreds of hours of film footage about his adventures in the Valley. This film includes the story of a fawn that came up and hugged his leg, the swirling dance of newts, a lamprey eel and jumping salmon, antics of a squirrel harvesting buckeye nuts during a "bad acorn year", the power of a Valley storm, "Secret Salmon Sites" and finding the
"hidden house" in Roy's Redwoods. Terrific family fare. Paul will be available for questions and comments.
