The Glorious 11th PTFF (Port Townsend Film Festival)

What a feast this town of Port Townsend…Particularly during this very festive Port Townsend Film Festival!!!

All smooth and flowing well, All fun, All up and running!!! -Much of it free for the public!!!-

This festival, lovingly initiated by “Peter” Simpson (as present and inspiring throughout  it NOW as when he was alive! : )…Yet, today, the festival runs under the foresight and fun loving know-how of  some super-women -headed by Janette Force, as Directress-and ultimate responsible…

This here was the entryway to the FREEE!!!! “Peter Simpson Cinema”…

CIMG1969

Under the blue skies of Port Townsend, we heard splendid rock’n'roll with the extra-talented and multi-fascetic musician-singer Raven -and his group…CIMG1970Enjoying their performance, NIA dancer and official photographer of the Festival: Jane Champion championing  the memory making of it!!! : )

CIMG1972

This is happening on Taylor street, where the other FREEE!!!! movies on the hay bails -and under the stars, happen happen every year…CIMG1973Terrific Terry Tennesen -Director of the PTFF himself last year- volunteers as a manager for the Rose theater, this year…and looks into every other detail: In this case, the needs of the splendidly dressed drivers of the special shuttles to the festival ; )CIMG1975And if the women directing the Festival were superb in their cool and organizing powers, the marvelous smiling  “husbands” held the fort from the back -and all around- were just as splendid… Cheers for them!..CIMG1976.Here, Robert Force, husband of Janette, wearing his badge with the official title of “Trophy Husband”…That cool, or what?

CIMG1977

The choice of movies, shorts and documentaries was also splendid -and this is a town of hard core cinephiles… so, it counts! ; )

CIMG1978

At the Victorian  UpTown theater, Rocky Friedman (owner of the DownTown Victorian Theaters “The Rose” and “The Rose Bud”) interviewed Tom Shadyac…

CIMG1980

In the all Port Townsend Spirit, limits of “I own my theatres…YOU are my competitor” are abolished by intelligence and camaraderie… And Rocky is UpTown!!! : )

CIMG1982

As well, an international star such as Tom Shadyac , creator of many a movie like “Ace Ventura” -with Jim Carrey- and now creator and presenter of  the movie “I Am”, could not be interviewed by someOne more of a kin than Rocky Friedman.

Tom’s movie -and intervention- was totally refreshing, sincere, committed to truth to the “n” potency…

Through his splendid movie, http://iamthedoc.com/ he declares himself  a man on a mission of discovery, of communication, of  light unabashed?. He finds his present truth, and has the valor of accepting it. Of embracing it. Of living it. Of sharing it…

Yes. Even if it means radically changing his life (or because of it?)

Very enlightend and controversial his point of view.

He could have chosen to follow his star further into Hollywood stardom, writing, directing and producing other movies with Jim Carry -as his first great ticket box hits. Yet,  he opted for the other way: the discovery-of-all-as-new way.

Tom Shadyac, in my eyes, with his choice, becomes a hero, in the ranks of Deepak Chopra, and Gandhi and others BIG ones who have chosen to follow their own light. A joy!

This movie “I am” will stay a while in our theaters, since Rocky invited it to be screened at his very own the Rose theater.

And the Royalty parades in style…

CIMG0224

As then, now!…Just more merry after lives well lived : )

CIMG0225

And you can cheer their names…

CIMG0233

While the young Royals realize their “Port Townsend Child” dream of parading in the beloved “Choo-Choo”…

CIMG0236

Some Queens and Kings need no titles… With them, it is enough to enjoy their poise and style…

CIMG0248

Other Royals leave their Care Homes to come join the parade!!!

CIMG0254

Congressman Norm Dicks amongst all this seems to cheer “Yeeey, Port Townsend!” hand in fist…

CIMG0255

And “Rhodys” sit by his side…

CIMG0268

Cyclers of all preferences parade in high creativity!

CIMG0269

And the only solution to all our problems appears: “BE THE CHANGE!”…wise

Splendid Mexican Poet David Huerta in Port Townsend… : )

Port Townsend opened its warm literary arms wide, to embrace the art -and the person- of David Huerta. One of Mexico’s best poets presently.

The lovely Wheeler Theater, in the Fort Worden park, was full and radiant with incomparable local poetical talents -particularly thrilled knowing that Huerta’s laureated Poetry would be (excellently) translated into English by Mark Schafer.

Here we see them both: Poet and Translator after the celebrated event…

When David with a  joyful open heart was signing his name for many a Port Townsend youth on  his “Before Saying Any of the Great Words” ISBN-978-1-55659-287-4 book -published by the renowned Port Townsend’s Copper Canyon Press -presenter of the very special event…
