This is a FREE family film donated by the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival

USA 2005 • Documentary • 52 minutes
Directed by Mark Deeble, Victoria Stone

In Africa, the giant fig tree and the tiny fig wasp differ in size a billion times over, but neither could exist without the other. The fig tree provides food for thousands of creatures, from elephants and giraffes, to forest hornbills, monkeys, insects, and fish. Each individual fig is a infinitesimal microcosm of life in which the tiny fig wasp players battle against predators and parasites to fulfill their mission, which is to pollinate a tree whose flowers bloom inside its fruit. This beautiful film is made possible by the patience and skill of two filmmakers, who employ the magic of ultra-macro photography and high definition cameras to tell a wildlife story which has never been told before.

“Semper Fi” chronicles the fascinating life and experiences of a courageous guy named Jeff Key, an Alabama gay man who followed his dream to serve in the Marine Corps. “Semper Fi” is based on Key’s one-man stage show that traveled the country, telling the tale that was logged in his personal wartime journals. But the surprise is that the documentary isn’t a stereotypical reflection of disillusionment and despair. The film doesn’t take an angry stance towards the current war. Instead it emphasizes the deep feelings that are triggered when you fight for your country. This is an emotionally rich portrait of a man and the people who care about him.

Directed by James Tusty, Maureen Castle Tusty

Most people don’t think about singing when they think about revolutions. But song was the weapon of choice when, between 1987 and 1991, Estonians sought to free themselves from decades of Soviet occupation. During those years, hundreds of thousands gathered in public to sing forbidden patriotic songs and to rally for independence. “The young people, without any political party, and without any politicians, just came together ... not only tens of thousands but hundreds of thousands ... to gather and to sing and to give this nation a new spirit,” remarks Mart Laar, a Singing Revolution leader featured in the film and the first post-Soviet Prime Minister of Estonia.

A moving, intimate portrait of an internationally renowned artist, Jock Soto of the New York City Ballet, who is Navajo Indian, Puerto Rican, and openly gay. On the verge of retirement, one of modern ballet’s most gifted and celebrated dancers is forced to contemplate life after dance. Exploring identity, family, and transition, the film climaxes with his emotional departure from ballet at age 40 in 2005. As Soto reflects on his uncertain future, he also attempts to connect with his past, revisiting his Navajo roots and the cultural heritage to which he is at once detached and devoted. Soto’s story defies stereotypes in the same way that his dancing transcends the expected.

“Starting Out in the Evening” is a study of an artist who doesn’t give up. Heather Wolfe, a pretty, brash graduate student, is confident that her thesis on the once famous novelist Leonard Schiller will put her on the literary fast track. The more she comes to know Schiller, the more he confounds her: his willingness to write a novel where the characters tell him what the story is about. At first he’s seduced by Heather’s flattering attentions. Yet ultimately this thoughtful, dignified man wants only to finish what he has begun. He has no illusions about the scale of his achievement, but he has tried, through art, to bring a little more beauty, a little more tolerance, a little more coherence into the world. This film is a perceptive study of a writer’s motivation.
