REEL New Mexico presents “Buck”
REEL NEW MEXICO
May 9, 7 p.m. at La Tienda
Sundance Audience Award winner
“BUCK”
On Thursday, May 9, Reel New Mexico is proud to present “Buck,” a stunning documentary about a horse trainer best described as a real life horse whisperer.
The New York Times called it “mesmerizing viewing [that] holds your attention and heart.” Salon termed it “impossible to resist.” The Los Angeles Times hailed it as “an exceptional slice of Americana [that] transports us to a better world. At the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, “Buck” won the Audience Choice award.
This richly textured and visually stunning documentary follows master horseman Buck Brannaman from his abusive childhood to his phenomenally successful approach to horses. He eschews the violence of his upbringing, teaching people to communicate with their horses through leadership and sensitivity, not punishment. Filmed throughout the West, “Buck” is a truly American story of a man who dramatically transforms horses – and people – with understanding , compassion and respect. You don’t need to know horses to love this beautiful, haunting tale.
John Parks, of Trinity Ranch just south of Eldorado, has known and worked with Buck for more than two decades and counts him as a close friend. Immediately following the screening, he will answer audience questions about Buck the man and about his amazing techniques.
Reel New Mexico presents films with a New Mexico connection on the second Thursday of each month, at 7 p.m. in The Performance Space in La Tienda Center, off Avenida Vista Grande at 285. For a truly memorable evening, don’t miss “Buck” on May 9. A contribution of five dollars is suggested at the door. Directions to the venue are at http://www.reelnewmexico.com
REEL New Mexico Presents: Globalized Soul
Following in the mystical tradition of “Rumi Returning,” “Globalized Soul: Stories from the Tipping Point to a New World” presents a mystic tour of humanity’s longing for love and peace. It features the spiritual wisdom of the Dalai Lama and sacred activists such as Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bukhari. A lavish visual odyssey, it was filmed in India, Turkey, Morocco, Israel, Mexico, the U.S. and the Parliament of the World’s Religions in Melbourne, Australia and set to the music of Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar.
Arun Ghandi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, pronounced the film “a sensitively made film on peace [that] leaves you with a positive feeling that peace is possible if we know how to build it.”

The End of the World Party
The Daniel Link Band
DANIEL LINK BAND – 12.12.12 CONCERT – THE PERFORMANCE SPACE AT ELDORADO
Santa Fe’s Brightest New Music Artist to Film Live Show
Santa Fe, NM. After releasing his latest CD Book of Shadows earlier this year, Daniel Link introduces his new band line-up in a special concert, which will be filmed at The Performance Space at La Tienda on December 12, 2012. 7 to 8 PM. Tickets only $10. (Advanced tickets at danielLink.com or at the door)
After arriving in Santa Fe from Austin in 2010, it didn’t take long for Daniel’s musical and songwriting gifts to catch the eyes and ears of the upper echelons of the Santa Fe music community, including Vince Bell and Catfish Hodge (both making guest vocal performances on Daniel’s new CD) and Jono Manson, who co-produced Book of Shadows. Late this summer, when Daniel was ready to start doing local shows and regional touring, he decided to form a brand new musical entity, simply called “Daniel Link Band”. The line-up features local bad-asses Daniel Murphy on guitar and harmony vocals, Britt Alexander on drums, and John Perado on bass and harmony vocals.
“There are no stars in this band,” Daniel insists, “I made that clear with these guys from day one. Yeah, I wrote all the material, and yeah I am the primary front man, but I see that as what I contribute to the band as a whole. The truth is I have the utmost respect for each of them; this band is powerful…and with Daniel (Murphy), I am in awe to be standing next to him onstage…he is just as much a front man as I am in this band…not to mention one of the best guitarists and most creative spirits I’ve ever worked with. Period.”
The band wants to formally invite Santa Feto be a part of their early history and their first video as the Daniel Link Band. For more information, please visit www.daniellink.com.
Important Screening
The Womens Tree and La Tienda Present:
Miss Representation
Documentary Screening and Discussion
Saturday, November 17, 2012
6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
The Performance Space at La Tienda
Facilitated audience discussion follows the film.
Admission is free of charge. Donations are welcome.
Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the documentary Miss Representation exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America. The film challenges the media’s limited and often disparaging portrayals of women and girls, which make it difficult for women to achieve leadership positions and for the average woman to feel powerful herself.
In a society where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, the collective message that our young women and men overwhelmingly receive is that a woman’s value and power lie in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader. While women have made great strides in leadership over the past few decades, the United States is still 90th in the world for women. Please join us in helping to educate the women of the next generation.
