Interviews, 50 Cents

This marks the third year that Interviews 50 Cents, the quirky series of conversations with Alex Chadwick, will screen at Mountainfilm. Unfortunately, Chadwick can’t be in Telluride this year, as he is on assignment in Poland. Nevertheless, we will show four of his 2010 pieces, all filmed by Ethan and Erin Boehme at last year’s Festival. In this year’s film Chadwick chats with several feature guests: climate activist Tim DeChristopher talks about the mall cop who threatened to administer the ultimate punishment; artist Erica Nelson discusses the beauty of Kansas and the virtues of that state’s art scene; Andy Keller of Chico Bag looks at plastic; and climber Alex Honnold (Mountainfilm 2010, Alone on the Wall) explains how climbing films are made.
