The Tale of the Dog
The Family Dog Denver changed the city of Denver forever. It is the reason Denver is a major music destination and has more live music venues than Austin, Texas. It gave rise to one of the world's great rock promotors, Barry Fey, and one of the world's greatest music venues, Red Rocks Amphitheater. The Tale of the Dog tells the previously-untold story of the genesis of Denver's transformation from cow town to hip city. This 100-minute documentary film charts the struggles and triumphs of legendary San Francisco music promotor Chet Helms' pioneering hippie rock club as it tries to bring the psychedelic scene to Denver. Open from September 8, 1967, through July 19, 1968, the Family Dog brought to Denver, for the first time, such new legendary bands as the Grateful Dead, the Doors, Cream, Howlin' Wolf, Jefferson Airplane, and Van Morrison. It also gave Denver one of the world's first and greatest psychedelic light shows - Diogenes Lantern Works. The Family Dog Denver was special because it was more than a rock club. It was a cultural nexus - a landmark psychedelic outpost of the hippie counterculture. As such, it became ground zero for conflicts between police and hippies, as the terrified city grappled with this new and frightening music and drug phenomenon.

Hemingway Unknown
Ernest Hemingway is an almost mythical figure. In addition to being an author, he is literary work himself - a real rock star ante litteram. Much of his life has been an eternal holiday, minutely documented and continues to be a source of inspiration for himself. Wherever there are places that share their quotes: true or presumed. The pictures that portray him are thousands. Hemingway had built a fame as a captain of ventura, expressing a strong personality, man and myth, joining the life lived in the imagination of his characters. It is in this context that his many trips to Italy are included. From the First World War to the advent of Fascism, from the Second World War to the Boom Years: both male and female acquaintances, relationships with food and wine, landscapes, loves, pleasures and tragedies of life, especially in Veneto, were fundamental to the writer. Finding how Hemingway was a forerunner of the modern public figure, we will also see how he eventually found himself victim to the icon that was sewn on him. Finding its strange and private sides between the mountains and the lagoons of a territory that he loved to the end, makes the silence more silent on the fragility of this hard.
