Acclaimed Filmmakers Bring Their Latest to Horse & Film Fans in Big Sky Country
Missoula, MT, September 08, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Celebrated filmmakers Horsefly Films will be in attendance as they bring their acclaimed films to the spiritual home of the horse in America. The films Path To Glory and Of Gods And Kings will screen at the University Center Theater as part of the Equus International Film Festival— Path To Glory at 12:30 PM in the Payne Family Native American Center and Of Gods And Kings at 2:30 in the University Center Theater.
As premiere equine filmmakers, the two women behind Horsefly Films’ have shot, directed, written and edited films crafted to resonate with audiences with both engaging stories and lush cinematography. Their eternal message of the spirit and glory of the horse and its unique relationship with humankind takes viewers on epic, passionate journeys to other horse-loving places, ultimately in search of the heart of the horse.
“We are thrilled to bring our work to Montana where the horse is still an integral part of cultural heritage; where people, Native and otherwise, so boldly celebrate the horse and all it has given us and continues to give us,” say filmmakers Jen Miller and Sophie Dia Pegrum.
The two films screening are part of an ongoing series of compelling documentaries created for their Horsefly Films Rare Equine Trust, formed with the mission of creating a film folio on endangered rare equines and equine cultures around the world. Their cinematic series captures the mythical splendor, history and fragile position of rare equines worldwide and the tireless work of those trying to preserve them.
“The horse is a reminder of man’s loftier connection to nature and many of these breeds will disappear without intervention - a great loss to humanity. Despite modern technology making horses obsolete for many, the debt to history remains. They are an integral part of who we are, of who we became, and it is our duty to preserve that bond. Join us in celebrating the noble equine!” say Jen and Sophie.
The filmmaking team will also be appearing as part of a special filmmaking panel on Saturday, September 19th at 4:30 PM at the University Center Theater.
