BENDFILM & SCALEHOUSE PRESENT: 72 HOUR FILMMAKER’S SCRAMBLE
July 14, 2016 @ 5:00 pm – July 17, 2016 @ 5:00 pm
http://www.scalehouse.org/72-hour-filmmaker-scramble-w-bendfilm/
BendFilm and ScaleHouse are pleased to introduce the 72 hour Filmmaker’s scramble, an event that challenges filmmakers to create original short films in just 72 hours based on a surprise theme, action, or prop assignment. A screening of the entries will be shown on August 15, 2016 at the Workhouse, with the winning film shown at the 13th Annual BendFilm Festival.
Here’s how it will work: On July 14, 2016, all participants will receive the surprise theme for their work. The filmmaking team will have only three days to conceive a story, find actors, design their production, shoot the story (on whatever camera format and audio recording device that best fits the aesthetic), and edit the final cut exactly 72 hours after receiving the theme. Experienced filmmakers will be on hand to offer advice throughout the 3-day production period.
“There is a lot of filmmaking interest and energy in Bend. Both BendFilm and ScaleHouse want to provide the forum and inspiration for our local makers to learn and engage in the art of filmmaking. Last year eight teams participated with filmmakers ranging in experience and age, and our desire is to make the Scramble an annual summer community event inviting more filmmakers to participate. We can’t wait to see what our participants come up with using nothing but their own wit and the resources at their fingertips,” said Todd Looby, BendFilm Director.

SUNRIVER MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTS ISRAELI-AMERICAN CELLIST AMIT PELED IN CLASSICAL CONCERT IV

CLASSICAL CONCERT IV – Thursday, August 18th 7:30 p.m.
Sunriver Resort Great Hall – Featuring cellist Amit Peled performing Tchaikovsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme and Bruch’s KolNidre. The 39th Season closes with Schumann’s Symphony No. 1Spring.
World-acclaimed Spanish cellist Pablo Casals (1876-1973) had a career that spanned 80 years. He played for both Queen Victoria and President John F Kennedy. Three decades after his death, Casals’ widow entrusted his cello to the Israeli-American cellist Amit Peled. Now Mr. Peled will take the cello he calls “a wild horse ready to run” on a journey across America beginning with two performances at the Sunriver Music Festival; a solo recital August 16 and a closing concert August 18.
“It is an honor to be the first stop on Amit’s American road trip. We can’t wait to share his artistry with our audience,” states Pam Beezley, Executive Director of the Sunriver Music Festival.
Beezley points out that from the United States to Europe to the Middle East and Asia, Mr. Peled was voted by Musical America as one of the most Influential Music Professionals of 2015.
In a feature story in the New York Times, Peled reflected on the honor of playing sucha celebrated instrument and the unique nature of bringing classical music to where it belongs, to people living in rural America.
“This cello made the journey with the maestro from Spain into world fame. All the major recordings of Casals were created with this instrument,” explains Peled.
“So I’m just going to go with my family, and have my daughter manage a Twitter account and investigate what our next stop should be. We’ll stop every place we can and perform for local audiences.”
Peled’s road adventure will end in September at his home in Baltimore.
