BOZEMAN DOC SERIES:

BETWEEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SKY

Maggie Doyne was 19 years old and traveling in Nepal when she saw a group of children doing backbreaking work in order to survive. It changed the trajectory of her life, inspiring her to start an orphanage and school for children in the region, many of whom were refugees of a brutal civil war. In 2015, Doyne was named CNN’s Hero of the Year. Based on Doyne’s memoir, the film addresses difficult questions about the human costs of humanitarian aid and shows how love can coexist and thrive in the face of unimaginable tragedy.


Between the Mountain and the Sky world-premiered at this year’s Mountainfilm festival in Telluride where it won the Audience Choice Award.

There is a Season

Madison Perrins



These paintings created by Madison Perrins were guided by an appreciation for the singular energy each season of life can bring to the outer and inner landscape. The artist uses her understanding that each season contains its own unique lesson to try and enjoy the gift of them in real time: the mercurial quality of spring, the whisper of solitude in fall, or the bright shock of summer. Her work lifts up a deeply personal spirituality held in the landscape, especially inspired by the sweeping expanses of the Western US & her beloved Montana. In turns, her imagery embodies joy, playfulness, power, the sacred, interiority, and radiant energy.
