Why the PG-13 Rating Limit
We’ve set a PG-13 (or equivalent) limit for three reasons: community, sponsors, and philosophy. First, we sought input from all facets of the Northern Colorado community in creating this event. One of the results was that a PG-13 rating is a better reflection of the community’s interests and activities. Second, the TriMedia Film Festival sponsors are community businesses that care about their corporate image, and prefer to be associated with works that meet community standards. Lastly, the festival organizers believe that filmmakers sometimes use language, nudity, or violence as the “easy way out” instead of telling a good story, and that filmmakers who can create edgy, thought-provoking films that are G or PG-13 should be given a place to showcase their work.

Music and film will converge at a fundraiser coordinated by local nonprofits SpokesBUZZ Fort Collins and the TriMedia Film Festival. “Cinemusico”, a collaborative benefit event featuring a screening of the award-winning documentary film For The Sake Of The Song: The Story of Anderson Fair, will take place at New Belgium Brewery on Thursday, June 2, from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. For The Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair “When we selected For The Sake Of The Song to kick off the TriMedia Film Festival last September, we knew it would be tremendously appealing to the many music lovers in the Fort Collins community,” said Francie Glycenfer, co-executive director of the TriMedia Film Festival. “And when we had the opportunity to join forces with SpokesBUZZ Fort Collins for this event, we thought it would be the perfect chance to showcase it again for an appreciative audience. It’s just tells such a compelling story.” Purchase Tickets Below (in advance) for $15 or $20 at the door >>

Proceeds of the event will benefit: TriMedia Film Festival and SpokesBUZZ, Fort Collins
In a financial climate that can be particularly challenging for arts and cultural organizations, a film depicting how a devoted community with a common vision comes together to champion a local music institution is a perfect fit for a shared fundraiser, said Dani Grant, SpokesBUZZ Fort Collins board president.
“Anderson Fair is one of the oldest folk and acoustic music venues in continuous operation in the United States, and it has survived because of the support of the artists and arts lovers that are passionate about it,” Grant said. “People who care come together to ensure its continued existence. What could be more appropriate than screening this movie to support two local nonprofits like SpokesBUZZ and the TriMedia Festival? We are so much more effective when we work together. This film – and this fundraiser – embody that very idea.” For more information about SpokesBUZZ, and to visit their website, please click here >>
New Belgium Brewing Company, a longtime supporter of local film and music, is sponsoring and hosting Cinemusico. Tickets to the event are $15 in advance, $20 at the door (if available – seating is limited), and include the film, food and all related festivities. A small silent auction will also support the two nonprofit organizations, and local filmmaker Tomas Herrera will debut a new music video he created for popular Fort Collins band Stella Luce.

MORE INFORMATION: For The Sake of the Song: The Story of Anderson Fair
Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, Guy Clark, Vince Bell, and a who’s who of other Americana and Alt-Country Music greats tell the story of how a devoted community of artists, volunteers, and patrons transformed a politically subversive little neighborhood restaurant into a legendary American music institution. For 40 years, Houston’s folk and acoustic music venue, Anderson Fair Retail Restaurant, has fostered and nurtured some of America’s most important musical performers and songwriters. It has stubbornly bucked the odds and survived because of the dedication of a community of people with a common vision. Its struggle to survive in many ways mirrors the struggle of the individual artists. (99 mins.)

Laugh yourself silly at the best short comedies of the 2010 TriMedia Film Festival. From a man who can rewind time and is trying to get back to the perfect moment, to a send-up of the overly macho heros of 80′s action flicks, to a lonely man with a bottle of milk (what could possibly go wrong?), you’ll end the evening with a smile.
