Sweet Swag Giveaways! If you're keeping up to date with social media during the festival, then you'll want to be sure to keep an eye out for our special swag promos. We'll be doing a couple everyday in conjunction with some of our films and posting them on Facebook and Twitter. Ask The Filmmaker See a film that prompts a burning question? You can submit them to us via Twitter and Facebook. We'll be compiling the questions throughout the festival, and choosing a select few that will be answered on our blog for you to check out once you return home. First Ascent New Media Center Come check out the First Ascent Airstream and take advantage of the free wifi for all your new media needs. Live blog, upload photos or see what the latest Mountainfilm swag giveaways are! Interviews 50¢ Last year, Interviews 50¢ heard how Telluride can be a tough date town, and how a man fell in love with a goose. This year, Alex Chadwick is back with his card table, cameras and sign — Interviews 50¢ — collecting more stories on the streets in Telluride during Mountainfilm 2010. Selected Interviews will be shot, edited and screened during the festival - the only work seen at the festival on such short turn around. Alex and the Interviews 50¢ crew will also conduct special filmmaker interviews with specific directors, actors, and activists to tour with Mountainfilm around the world to help share the intimacy and magic of the Mountainfilm experience with tour audiences. Independent journalist Alex Chadwick is a former correspondent and host for NPR and documentary writer for CBS and ABC. On Saturday, he'll host a breakfast talk for Mountainfilm on Advocacy Storytelling - how to be fair and still say what needs to be said.
