PSIHOYOS (“THE COVE”): COLLECTIVE ENERGY OF MOUNTAINFILM

09 May PSIHOYOS (“THE COVE”): COLLECTIVE ENERGY OF MOUNTAINFILM

Editor’s note: This year marks Mountainfilm’s 35th festival and the event is stronger than ever. Those running the show feel Mountainfilm’s vital longevity is thanks to many people: volunteers, staff, audiences and, of course, filmmakers, artists, and guests. Some people who have taken the stage have helped shape Mountainfilm in Telluride. To celebrate their longtime involvement, Mountainfilm asked a few of them to express their feelings about the unique tribe and weekend.
