37 Based on a sneak peak, Telluride Inside...and Out is prepared to go out on a limb: when the cast of the Telluride Repertory Theatre Company's production of "The Sound of Music" says its final "So long, Farewell, Auf Wiederzehn, Goodbye," the crowd at the Palm will be shouting for more. This is one boffo show, arguably one of the biggest and best in The Rep's 18-year history. When the inevitable occurs, much credit must go to its director, Cate Caplin, and her musical director, Dr. David Lingle, who lead a cast of 50 and a crew of 20.

Their resumes not only establish their street cred, they underscore their respective and complementary strengths.

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends..."

HenryV-photo-Matthew-Freddy-0674-caption On Thursday, March 19, Telluride's Palm Theatre proudly presents The Acting Company's and Minneapolis' Guthrie Theater's edgy co-production of Shakespeare's "Henry V."

In "Henry V," King Henry of England is no longer the petulant youth who frolicked boisterously with friends in "Henry IV. " Prince Hal has put down his toys and picked up the sword – although he is still young
restless, haughty and ambitious. When he inherits a troubled crown, the born-again Henry seeks to secure his position at home by diverting his country's attention abroad. His target is France, where he launches a hasty invasion to claim his right to a kingdom and the daughter of the King who insulted him with a gift of tennis balls and enforced leek eating.

"The Telluride Film Festival Cinematique at the Wilkinson Public Library" began in January with a quietly elegant film called "The Gleaners," (2000) about people who recycle the detritus of everyday life. The director is "The Mother of French New Wave," Agnes Varda, also a close friend of film scholar/critic/teacher/TFF friend Howie Movshovitz, who moderated.

In a related podcast interview on Telluride Inside...and Out, Movshovitz deferred to Varda in defining French New Wave: "Filmmakers under 30, budgets under 30 million francs  – old francs –  and no access to lighting."

The French New Wave is to film what Impressionism was to fine art: a seismic shift in the landscape caused by the movement of young filmmakers away from literary masterpieces out into the street. "It was as if someone had opened the window and let air into the room," said Movshovitz." Without the French New Wave there would be no independent film."

In many way, "Jules and Jim"  is the apotheosis of the genre.
