33rd Alaska Folk Festival Documentary

Posted by admin

http://akfolkfest.org/

Director: David Nickerson

A New Media class traveled to Juneau, AK to capture the annual Alaskan Folk Festival. This is the beginning of what David has developed.

The Alaska Folk Festival is a unique event and can be compared more to a folk life festival than to the Folk Festivals that many of us have experienced. For the most part, no one gets paid. All concerts and events are free, but everyone is encouraged to become a member. Performers on the main stage have 15 minute sets. Dance sets in the dance hall Thursday – Saturday nights are one hour in length. Performers come from all over Alaska and also from other Northwest States as well as from just about everywhere else. Performances range from school groups to professionals. Many come from hundreds or thousands of miles away, every year. The Festival is a non profit organization funded mostly from memberships. Admittance to the festival itself is free.

We do bring up one guest artist and dance caller every year. For guest performers we look for people with roots in a musical tradition.

Cajun Legend Nathan Abshire 1975

Posted by admin

TVTV was an ad hoc assemblage of “video freaks” who came together from around the country in 1972 to use the brand new technology of portable videotape to create the first non-network produced video broadcast of the Democratic and Republication National Conventions. It was an audacious experiment with creating television from an outsider’s perspective and a first step at a movement to create a new kind of television not controlled by corporate interests.

Three years later, a smaller configuration of TVTV, including Wendy Appel, Paul Goldsmith, Petur Hliddal, Robby Kenner, Hudson Marquez, David Myers, Allen Rucker, and Suzanne Tedesko, went down to Louisiana to make a very different kind of tape–a warm and enjoyable documentary about Cajun Life and culture, focusing to a large extent on the music of “Mr. Accordion” Nathan Abshire. Enjoy this portrait of a fascinating character and some great singing and dancing, and then watch the full hour at Media Burn:
