Filmmakers teach, too the students, strengthening the community through the art of film." On Wednesday, Jan. 22, directors Peter Middleton and James Spinney showed their short film, "Notes on Blindness" to a lecture hall full of students. The film features dramatizations of excerpts from the audio diary of John Hull, who lost his vision in 1983. Middleton said he and Spinney were contacted by Sundance a couple of weeks ago, who told them about the program and gave them an opportunity to show their film to a student audience. "We have done quite a few Q&A's with audiences throughout the festival, but this should be a very different audience," Middleton said. "You can always trust for a good honest question from a high school kid." Ryan Miller, the film studies teacher at the high school, said he is grateful his students have such a unique opportunity. He said it has been a rich extension to the classroom that has provided a way for students to connect thematically and technologically to what he describes as the world's greatest film festival. The film program in the Park City School District begins in ninth grade at Treasure Mountain Junior High School with Filmmaking I. Miller said he collaborates with teacher Sarah Maddox at the junior high to prepare students for Filmmaking II Continued From A-1 Executive departs Krista Parry praised Botter's work. "Jennifer Botter made significant contributions to Powdr and we appreciate her years of service. She and Powdr agreed it was time for a change in the financial management of the company. We have a strong financial team in place and a search is underway to fill the position," the statement said. Parry in an interview said: "Jennifer's departure did not have anything to do with the litigation." Nobody answered a call to a telephone number listed as Botter's on Friday morning. The filing was made in support of Talisker Land Holdings, LLC side request that the judge dismiss the remaining points from the PCMR's side's original lawsuit. The case has since been expanded. The filing does not involve the points in the expanded lawsuit. The two sides this week released prepared statements addressing the overall case. Vail Resorts is overseeing the Talisker Land Holdings, LLC side of the case as part of its long-term agreement to operate Canyons Resort. The Talisker Land Holdings, LLC statement: "Earlier today, Talisker filed a motion with the Court seeking a ruling on the issue at the very heart of the dispute over possession of the ski terrain at Park City Mountain Resort; based on the facts established once they reach the high school. Video Productions I and II and Film Studies are other courses offered at the high school, and Miller said they are hoping to launch Filmmaking III next school year. Until then, he said, the Filmmakers in the Classroom experience invigorates his students' excitement for filmmaking. "It is a really good boost for motivating and catalyzing creative ideas. They get really excited to get in there and start going back to class bouncing ideas off each other," Miller said. "They are most excited to meet the directors and cast behind the work and see that if they want to become that, it is attainable." Film students at the high school will hold their own festival - the annual Miner Film Festival - in May, so Miller said they are editing the rough cuts of documentaries they worked on last semester. They are also preparing short narrative and experimental films. Jaimie Atlas, director of sponsor relations for the Park City Institute, said the program is part of their yearround student outreach program and is proud to be able to offer students a novel experience. "Collaborating with Sundance for this is just a really unique and special opportunity for the students," Atlas said. "Not many other high school students get this opportunity, so it is really special for us to be a part of." Cody said the Sundance Institute would like to thank its program supporters: the George S. and Dolores ‘Doré' Eccles Foundation, Promontory Foundation, Park City Community Foundation, Park City Municipal, Park City Rotary, Summit County Recreation, Arts and Parks (RAP), and the Utah Arts Council and Endowment for the Arts. through discovery, it is clear that PCMR was negligent in forgetting to properly renew the lease. Rather than immediately admit this oversight, PCMR instead sent a backdated letter to Talisker and then filed a lawsuit against Talisker with claims that are not even supported by PCMR's and Powdr's own executives; not a single witness named any specific action or communication by Talisker that indicated Talisker was waiving its rights under the lease. We are hopeful the Court now will dismiss PCMR's remaining claims and let stand its earlier ruling that ‘[PCMR] simply did not timely exercise their lease renewal option according to the plain and unambiguous language of the Leases.'" The PCMR statement: "Park City Mountain Resort is reviewing Vail's filing for partial summary judgment. This motion to dismiss two counts brought by PCMR is part of the normal litigation process, and we will file our response and our own motions in due course. We are prepared to show that PCMR acted responsibly and in good faith and that its right to use the lands at issue has been extended. As we have said before, Vail's continued focus on PCMR's May 2011 confirmation notice is a distraction from the central legal and factual issues in the case. They include the extension of the leases and what we believe to have been Talisker's violation of the leases by transferring control of the leased lands to Vail without regard to PCMR's rights. We hope Vail will work with us to resolve this legal dispute so PCMR can continue to operate as a world-class destination and integral part of the Park City community. We are ready and willing to sit down and talk, in good faith, with Vail right now and negotiate a rational agreement." ‘Cesar's Last Fast' to screen for Latinos Documentary follows career of labor activist Cesar Chavez By ALEXANDRIA GONZÁLEZ The Park Record When Richard Perez found out his documentary film, "Cesar's Last Fast," had been chosen for the Sundance Film Festival, he said immediately went to work with programmers to find a place in town to premiere the film for the Latino community it represents. "Cesar's Last Fast" focuses on the work of Cesar Chavez, a migrant worker who fought for fair treatment and wages for his fellow workers in the 1960s. Perez said it is very important for service workers in Park City, who are primarily Latino, to see the film, so he chose to offer a free community screening at St. Mary's of the Assumption Catholic Church. "They are a part of the community that traditionally does not attend screenings at Sundance, so we wanted to bring the film to them since it speaks to them," Perez said. "It is also significant for us that it will be screened at St. Mary's, because the film follows Cesar's spiritual commitment, which inspired his approach." The film will be shown after the Spanish-language mass at St. Mary's on Sunday, Jan. 26. Parishioners and the public will be invited to the Parish Hall for the screening at 2:15 p.m., Continued From A-1 Silly Market stays put tions, said in an interview after the vote organizers did not consider another location for the event as the talks were unfolding. In the past year the Silly Market has contemplated moving the event to another site before reaching an agreement to remain on Main Street. "It allows us to keep going in the right direction. It allows us to stay on Main Street," Boyd said about the three-year deal approved on Thursday. Alison Butz, the executive director of the Historic Park City Alliance, a business group, addressed the elected officials prior to the vote, saying that the organization is pleased with that the vendor mix is moving toward more handmade items.

DEEP LOCAL ROOTS. NAN CHALAT NOAKER/PARK RECORD Richard Perez, who is in Park City with his documentary, "Cesar's Last Fast," said he is anxious to share the film with the local Latino community. which will be followed by a Q&A session with Perez as well as Utah Sen. Luz Robles, (D - District 1) the minority caucus manager for Salt Lake County. Tanya Alvarado, a senior at Park City High School and one of three copresidents of the Latinos in Action organization on campus, said they will be helping to host the event and hopes as many Latinos in town can make it as possible. "[Robles] will be there to answer any questions local Latino workers have about unfair work conditions and wants to tell them their rights so they know they are not being taken advantage of," Alvarado said. "Hopefully it will inspire people to stand up for their rights." Everyone in the community, regardless of ethnicity, is invited to the free event, and Alvarado said, "Everyone can be involved, help out and make a difference." are collected on items sold at the Silly Market. The municipal government will continue to provide subsidies to the Silly Market over the three years. The subsidies will be given on a descending scale, however. The cash subsidy will be $50,000 in 2014. It will fall to $45,000 in 2015 and then $40,000 in 2016. The subsidy in 2013 was $65,000. City Hall, meanwhile, agreed to waive approximately $42,000 in fees annually between 2014 and 2016, about the same amount as it did in 2013. The agreement also calls for information to be shared earlier in the year about the impacts the Tour of Utah bicycle race could have on the Silly Market. The Tour of Utah draws large crowds and the race course has included Main Street. The deal was reached a little more than a year after City Hall and the Silly Market entered into what was seen as a stopgap agreement that covered the event's 2013 run on Main Street. The sides at that time indicated they would engage in more extensive discussions in the hopes of a multiyear contract like the one that was approved on Thursday. multicultural soccer and gym workouts.
