P-51 PICTURES The documentary “Out of Nothing,” which was filmed at the Bonneville Salt Flats, tells the story of four men who risk everything to break motorcycle land speed racing records. “Out of Nothing” will be one of the films screened during the Park City Moto Union Film Festival on Friday and Saturday, June 16-17. Two-day event will benefit the Egyptian’s YouTheatre program By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record The Park City Moto Union is a local riding group on a mission to educate the general public about motorcycles. “We want to break through the stigma of motorcycle riding and show that it’s really about a bigger and broader community,” Union member Michael Bhanos said. “Moto Union is a riding enthusiast group that welcomes everyone who loves bikes, and serves as a place for people who move here or pass through here to have other people to ride with.” The Park City Moto Union also acts as a platform for films and storytellers and will present the first Park City Moto Union Film Festival on June 16 and 17. Bhanos, who is the executive director of the festival, said the event’s mission is multi-faceted. “I sit on the board of directors for the Egyptian Theatre and we were thinking about ways to introduce the theater to a new set of eyes and new demographic of people,” he said. Bhanos noticed younger motorcycle enthusiasts seem to be very in tune with art, design and community. He wanted to capitalize on that. He approached Egyptian Theatre manger Randy Barton and submitted a proposal for a film festival that would benefit the Egyptian Theatre’s YouTheatre program. YouTheatre offers theater, acting, costumes, technical and design workshops and classes to students. “I think YouTheatre is important because it involves helping children to become super comfortable in public speaking and other skill sets,” Bhanos said. “Those skills are used no matter if they stay in theater or not. They can use them throughout their lives. So, I thought we could drive charity to this through the festival.” The backbone of the Moto Union Festival is the International Motorcycle Film Festival that is based out of Brooklyn, which hosts a big event every September. Please see Festival, C-4 Curtain closes on Dymalski’s Film Series tenure Sunday reception will see programmer off after 21 years By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Park City Film Series Technical and Program Director George Dymalski has a special connection with Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez’s award-winning 1999 pseudo-documentary and horror film “The Blair Witch Project.” “One year, we had a hiccup when a film was loaded backwards, so it was up to me to prescreen the films to make sure they were loaded right,” Dymalski said during a Park Record interview. “So, there I was in the empty theater watching the film by myself at 10 o’clock at night. I swore that there was someone behind the stage at one point.” Dymalski will take this and other memories with him when he retires from the Park City Film Series after Sunday’s screening of Daniel Raim’s documentary “Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story” at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium. The reason he’s leaving is so he can focus on other projects, especially music. “I play in a number of bands and want to devote more of my free time that,” he said. “I also do some songwriting. So this will help me concentrate on that.” Dymalski joined the Park City Film Series family as an attendee and then as a volunteer in 1996 when the nonprofit was still operating under the Utah Arts Council umbrella. “Jill Orschel trained me as a projectionist, because there were only a handful of projectionists, including Steve Hegerfeld, back then,” Dymalski said. “We handled 35 millimeter film and there wasn’t a lot of technology involved.” When the Park City Film Series officially became its own nonprofit in 1999, it was headed by Executive Director TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Park City Film Series Technical and Program Director George Dymalski will retire after working at the nonprofit, art-house theater for 21 years. Dymalski will step down after Sunday’s 6 p.m. screening of Daniel Raim’s documentary “Harold and Lillian: A Hollywood Love Story” at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium. A reception will be held at 8 p.m. in the Community Room across from the auditorium.
