Nicole Guillemot, general manager man-ager of the Sundance Film Festival, also took time to honor an orchestrator of the festival who has fulfilled one of the most challenging chal-lenging and least recognized roles in the execution of the event, Saundra Saperstein, press director for the Sundance Film festival. This year marked the last of 17 Saperstein has spent cajoling, appeasing and patiently listening to members of the press from all over the world. She will stay on with the Utah Film Commission, and will serve as a press-relations consultant the Film Festival. Other award winners were: The Documentary Directing Award went to Julia Loktev's Moment of Impact, a very personal person-al look at the Loktev family's struggle following a car accident that left her father catatonic.

The Cinematography Award honors excellence in cinematography cinematogra-phy in both dramatic and documentary docu-mentary features.

The Freedom of Expression Award, given to a documentary film which informs and educates the public on issues of social or political concern, was presented to a Sundance Film Festival veteran, veter-an, who over the years, has been instrumental in defining the course of independent documentary documen-tary film, Penelope Spheeris'. Her film, The Decline of Western Civilization Part III, keeps the original theme of her first film, but takes another look at a continually con-tinually degrading lifestyle of homeless children. The Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, for outstanding achievement achieve-ment in writing, was given to Lisa Cholodenko, writer of High Art. The Special Jury Prize for Achievement by an actor was awarded to Andrea Hart for her performance in Miss Monday.

It also is scheduled sched-uled to encore in the Park City Film Series on Saturday, Jan. 31. Director Peter Cattaneo's movie (a British import seen at last year's Sundance Festival) is about male strip-dancing. But there's only one moment of full nudity, and I doubt even the Utah Legislature would find it appealing to the prurient interest. That's because the six aspiring strippers here unemployed steel-workers steel-workers in the north-country town of Sheffield are drawn from the ranks of the paunchy, the old, and the pigeon-chested. Robert Carlyle (who was creepy as the black-haired, boozy and violent Begbie in Trainspotting), is transformed into the blonde, affable and plucky Gaz, who's inspired by the visiting Chippendale dancers to form his own troupe. What's inspiring to him is the money they make; Gaz badly needs to make child-support payments so he wont be separated from his son. His mates have their own troubles. trou-bles. The rotund Dave (Mark Addy) is dysfunctional in bed, depressed by his weight and his joblessness. Lomper (Steve Huison) at least has a job he's security guard over the empty, discarded dis-carded steel mill but is still driven to inept suicide attempts. (When a friend suggests drowning, he discounts dis-counts that, saying, "I cant swim.") They're also joined by an aging black worker (Paul Barber) who still remembers how to do the funky chicken, despite his "dodgy hip;" and a well-endowed young stud (Hugo Speer) who, by the way, has no talent or rhythm. Despite the funny moments, the film is surprisingly heartfelt about the working-class plight of its heroes. The men may be self-conscious self-conscious about exposing their flabby physiques (and especially about going for "The Full Monty" total nudity)., But the shame they really struggle with is being jobless not being able to fulfill their roles as sons, husbands and fathers. The movie features some wonderful won-derful scenes between Gaz and his son (William Snape) who sticks by him through the bump and grind routines. The men find their loved ones and eventually the whole town giving them a strange pride and support. Their one-night-only performance becomes a ballsy, thrilling gesture, even if everyone will have the same tough challenges chal-lenges to deal with the morning after. Director Cattaneo makes wonderful won-derful use of the north-country locations the tract houses, a deserted steel plant, and the British equivalent of a Wal-Mart. And the soundtrack, bounces to Sister Sledge, Donna Summer and, of course, "The Stripper." Best of all, don't miss the men's reaction when they're standing in the unemployment line and disco breaks out on the P.A. system.

In the mid-seventies, Hicks decided he was tired of being a band leader and formed a trio of violin and guitar players, he calls Dan Hicks and the Acoustic Warriors. Although, over the past 10 or 15 years, members of the Acoustic warriors have come and gone, the kind of music Hicks plays remains the same. "I'd say now we play a more jazzy, acoustic sound with some country undertones," Hicks said. Dan Hicks and the Acoustic , Warriors will play at the Inn at Prospector Square as part of the Wooden Dog Celebrity Concert Series on Sunday, February 1. Tickets are $13 in advance, or $15 at the door. Advance tickets are available at Dan's Foods, the Inn at Prospector Square, Park City Performances and Orion's Music.
