Hey everybody,
A while back I had stumbled upon the MountainFilm Festival at Telluride website. It is a four day celebration of the "indominatble spirit". All types of people get together, from film makers, photographers, designers, to mountaineers, and conservationists, who come together for a short week of art, celebrating our world and the human spirit. It's a place where people garner conversations for a better tomorrow, and I wish I could have been there this year. However my calender has already been marked for next year, and I'm saving my pennies to make sure I get out there.
But anyways, today I was gauking over their website again, imagining myself there for this past years festival and I found what I thought was a really cool sort of graphic history of the festival. It's a page that has 30 years of posters advertising the festival. It's kind of a bummer that you can't enlarge them, but even so I thought it was really interesting to see how a single event can be interpretted so many different ways over the years. It's also cool to see how styles change through time. Take a look and check out these posters.
And here is a cool video about the festival. It gives a brief history on how it came to be, and what it is today.
Check out MountainFilm and I hope you become as excited about it as I am, and maybe I'll see you there in 2010.
peace,
