Southern Circuit Film Series

Milking the Rhino

Wed. November 11, 2009, 7pm

A ferocious kill on the Serengeti. Dire warnings about endangered species. These cliches of nature documentaries ignore a key feature of the landscape: villagers just off camera, who navigate the dangers and costs of living with wildlife on a daily basis. Milking the Rhino tells a nuanced tale of human-wildlife coexistence in post-colonial Africa. Meet David E. Sampson, director/producer following the screening.

Steep Canyon Rangers

In 2006 the International Bluegrass Music Association voted Steep Canyon Rangers the Emerging Artist of the Year. The past year also saw the title track One Dime at a Time rise to #1 on the Bluegrass Unlimited's National Bluegrass Survey. In October the Grand Ole Opry welcomed the Rangers for a debut performance at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. On the heels of their recent success comes a third Rebel release Lovin' Pretty Women produced by bluegrass heavyweight Ronnie Bowman and engineered by guitarist Wyatt Rice, affirming the band's arrival at the highest circle of acoustic music.
