Sheep herding in scenic Absaroka-Beartooth subject of Livingston doc screening
The Livingston Film Series is set to present a free screening of the 2009 documentary Sweetgrass on Sunday, March 15th. The film begins at 7pm at the Shane Lalani Center for the Arts.
An unsentimental elegy to the American West, Sweetgrass follows the last modern-day cowboys to lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountains for summer pasture. This astonishingly beautiful yet unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, vulnerability and violence are all intimately meshed.
Now in its fifth season, the Livingston Film Series presents a variety of independent features, documentaries, local films, and special screenings on the third Sunday of every month in the Dulcie Theatre at the Sane Lalani Center for the Arts.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Concessions are available prior to the 7pm screenings. Admission is always free, but donations are gratefully accepted. For more information, please visit www.theshanecenter.org.
The Livingston Film Series is generously sponsored by Donald B. Gimbel, Marilyn Clotz and Mary Ann Bearden. •
