Times: Friday & Saturday at 8pm; Sunday at 6pm Location: Jim Santy Auditorium, 1255 Park Ave Phone: 435-615-8291 Park City Film Series Four-time world record-holding endurance swimmer Martin Strel attempts to swim all 3,375 miles of the mighty Amazon River as filmmaker John Maringouin follows him on every stroke of his treacherous and fantastic journey. Over the course of 66 grueling days, the hard-drinking 52-year-old Strel draws on sheer willpower to accomplish his lofty goal as a hand-picked group of faith-healers, outsiders, and friends cheer him along from the shoreline. The resulting film not only focuses on the trials that Strel endured on his record-breaking swim, but also draws much-needed attention to the Amazon Rainforest -- a landscape that faces an uncertain future due to the combined stresses of progress and pollution. As his attention to detail and beauty shots prove, Mr. Maringouin has a terrific eye: he brings you close to Mr. Strel, sometimes within panting distance, without forgetting the larger, lovelier world. – Manohla Dargis, New York Times |

Jill & Julia Show featuring Jill Sobule & Julia Sweeney Location: The Eccles Center 1750 Kearns Blvd.Park City, UT Time: 7:30 pm Jill Sobule and Julia Sweeney, team up for a delightful set that mixes witty songwriting with a little bit of social commentary. Jill Sobule, returning to Park City after stealing the show at the final concert of PCPAF’s summer series, isn't just another singer-songwriter with catchy tunes and smart lyrics; she's one of the more insightful satirists of our age. Each of her fanciful songs captures an issue or irony, an emotion or epiphany that helps us understand what it's like to live now. As a solo performer, comic actor Julia Sweeney explores love, cancer, family and faith. Her latest solo show and CD, 'Letting Go of God,' is about the "quest for something I could really believe in" -- which turns out to be no God at all. Sweeney returns to the Eccles Center stage as a follow-up to her much-heralded, sold-out show in December 2007. Tickets: $18, $35, $45, $55, $65 20-percent discount for seniors, 2-for-1 tickets for children ages 12 and under. Please call the Eccles Center Box Office for discounted tickets (not available online). Buy Tickets |
