The new digital film Rejoicing the Roots, which premieres in town tonight and tomorrow, is actually the product of a three-way collaboration between artists whose ties to the region echo the locally made work's roots theme. This unique take on a live performance by the renowned Denver troupe Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, with music by area musician Tom Tilton and combo, was made by a local filmmaker Gwylym Cano, in partnership with Tilton's Jae Ram Arts. That's a rare, totally homegrown combination and one worth rejoicing. Amen!
Rejoicing the Roots screens both nights at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Esquire, 590 Downing Street; admission is $10. For information call 303-733-9939 -- and look below for a sneak-preview video. -- Susan Froyd
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
