CREEKSFEST FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS TO PRESCOTT

River Films to Light Up Elks Theater October 11

PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The film festival focused on rivers and water returns to Prescott’s Historic Elks Theater on October 11, 2008, Prescott Creeks’ Ann-Marie Benz announced today. The CreeksFest film festival will screen twelve different short films throughout the day, including the Prescott debut of films like “Trout Grass” along with crowd favorites from previous festivals like “Ride of the Mergansers.”

“We’re thrilled to bring such a wide variety of river-themed films to Prescott,” said Benz. “Flowing water is the thread that ties all of these films together, from exciting whitewater action movies to breathtaking nature films. CreeksFest is a spectacular way for Prescott Creeks to bring in the community for a celebration of the creeks that flow through our town.”

Films for CreeksFest 2008 include:

• Trout Grass
  For many anglers, a fly rod is more than a fishing instrument. It's an antenna, capturing signals of the natural world. But what of the process that turns ordinary materials into extraordinary tools? And why do people around the world continue to spend their days happily wading in rivers if they do not keep what they capture?
• Ride of the Mergansers
  The Hooded Merganser is a rare and reclusive duck found only in North America. Every spring, in the Great Lakes region, the wary hen lays and incubates her eggs in a nest high in the trees. You'll be entertained, educated, and inspired - and leave with a newfound appreciation of the phrase 'leap of faith.'
• Bugs of the Underworld
  Extraordinary award-winning underwater video footage follows the life cycles of mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, and other amazing bugs. Expertly narrated with original sound track.
• The Verde River
  The Verde is a fragile ecosystem and nationally recognized. A 65-mile stretch of the river is Arizona’s only federally designated Wild and Scenic River. The upper Verde is also one of the last best places for Arizona’s endangered native fish.
• The Water’s Edge
  Center for Biological Diversity's Joanne Oellers tours the Verde River ecosystem at high water.
• Drop by Drop
  Tom Slaback, of the Sierra Club's Yavapai Chapter, runner Thomas Arnold, and Verde River area farmer Brenda Houser demonstrate different ways to preserve our desert jewel.
• The Verde River: Beautiful and Beleaguered
  For years Gary Beverly had the feeling that the Upper Verde River was special, that it was a secret paradise known only to a few. This spring, he spent three days on a solo backpack exploring the Upper Verde River.
• Inflatable Journey - A Brothers' Adventure on the Escalante River
  Timing is everything when it comes to taking a boat down southern Utah’s Escalante River. If the winter brings enough snow to the mountains, the spring runoff that follows can make it possible to run the 80 spectacular miles through Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
• Swim for the River
  Chris Swain braved whitewater, sewage, snapping turtles, hydroelectric dams, homeland security patrols, factory outfalls, and PCB contamination to become the first person to swim the entire length of the Hudson River from the Adirondack Mountains to New York City.
