Arivaca Independent Filmmakers Exhibition
INDEPENDENT FILM’s NIGHT
Saturday March 4th
6:30 - 9:00pm
Tucson filmmaker Adam Ray
will be presenting an original
work: “THE DOME” based on
the off-grid life and earthen
construction of local (Arivaca)
homesteader Bart Santello.
In collaboration with Bart
Santello’s own Psychotropic
Films
; the result is an unique
and highly-stylized film that
explores the Arivaca experience
and the natural environment that
inspires the creation of ‘space’
utilizing available materials and
the motivation or the
individual to create and survive.

At the core of “The
Anthropologist” are the
parallel stories of two
women: Margaret Mead, who
popularized cultural
anthropology in America; and
Susie Crate, an
environmental anthropologist
currently studying the
impact of climate change.
Uniquely revealed from their
daughters’ perspectives,
Mead and Crate demonstrate a
fascination with how
societies are forced to
negotiate the disruption of
their traditional ways of
life, whether through
encounters with the outside
world or the unprecedented
change wrought by melting
permafrost, receding
glaciers and rising tides.

Headquartered in an old inn on the Hudson River
opposite West Point Military Academy, Ironbound Films
creates documentaries for theaters, television,
museums, and the web. Our previous documentary was
The Linguists, the world’s first look at how languages become endangered, and how scientists
document, archive, and help return them to use. The Linguists went on to
win top honors at hundreds of film festivals around the world, enjoy a
gala premiere at the Paris headquarters of UNESCO, and air on PBS.
Note: This year we are departing from a full evening program
of shorts films, rather we will be showing a feature film ‘The
Anthropologist’(80-minutes) preceded by a short film.

“The
project
started
from
a
really
simple
place.
It
was
about
looking.
It
was
about
the
sheer
desire
to
understand
the
visual
landscape
that
we
are
talking
about
when
we
are
talking
about the southern border of the United States”
….Josh Begley - Director
