Film: "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music" with Director Jonathan Walls
Director/Editor Jonathan Walls will be in attendance to introduce the film and stay for a Q & A session after the film’s screening. "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music" is a story of hope, struggle, perseverance and joy. Directors Mark Johnson and Jonathan Walls and their team traveled the globe with a single-minded passion to connect the world through music. Their ambitious journey took them to post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and beyond. Using innovative mobile technology, they filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, in cobblestone streets, and amid hilly pueblos. Each captured performance creates a new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Admission is payable at the door (not the Worner Desk). General admission is $6, community students, military and seniors (65+) $5, and free with a CC ID. Sponsored by the Independent Film Society of Colorado along with Imagination Celebration and Colorado College.
