feeling blues? Chubby Carrier and other performers bound for this weekend’s North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland hope so.
C
Staff Writer
hubby Carrier calls zydeco music “the blues sped up.” So it makes sense that Carrier and his Bayou Swamp Band, with their infectious brand of foot-stomping, body-shaking Louisiana music, are among the headliners at this year’s 19th North Atlantic Blues Festival in Rockland. The others include blues guitarist Tab Benoit, another Louisiana native of French heritage but more in line with traditional blues music, and British blues legend John Mayall. Mayall is the man whose band, The Bluesbreakers, at times featured Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones and three founding members of Fleetwood Mac. So the fact that he’s essentially the third highest-billed performer (according to the schedule, anyway) says a great deal about the festival’s power to attract major blues musicians. “I had played in Maine before, but I’ve always wanted to play the festival,” said Carrier, 45, who is based in Lafayette, La. “I’ve toured and recorded with Tab before, so this will be like a reunion.” One of the festival’s longtime organizers, Jamie Isaacson, thinks the festival has endured for 19 years in large part due to its location. Maine is known for having appreciative blues audiences, and the festival is known among musicians as a

ortland indie folk-rock band if and it consists of Chris DiBiasio on percussion, keyboards and back-up vocals, Tim Alan Walker on bass, harmonica, keyboards and back-up vocals, and singer/guitarist Evan Parker. About two months ago, they released “Sparkly Gold,” and are already back at it with “Bleeding Moon.” GO caught up with Parker to find out about the close proximity of the releases and the band’s sound, among other things.

What’s the release date of “Bleeding Moon”? We released “Bleeding Moon” on June 22, but CDs are not available until July 20. You can pre-order them online now at ifandit.bandcamp.com. Why release something so soon after “Sparkly Gold”? We started recording “Sparkly Gold” early in 2011, and we started recording “Bleeding Moon” early in 2012; they just happened to get finished around the same time. Rather than waiting to release “Bleeding Moon,” we decided to release them around the same time.

What are the ways that the two albums differ? The songs on “Sparkly Gold” were written over a longer period of time and were more complete as we recorded them. “Bleeding Moon” was a bit more adventurous and a kind of “let’s just see what

we get and hope for the best.” A lot of our individual influences and personalities come together on “Bleeding Moon” in a different and exciting way. From a more technical point of view, “Sparkly Gold” was recorded at Forest City Studio by Ron Harrity, and we recorded “Bleeding Moon” by ourselves. “Bleeding Moon” uses more digital plugins than “Sparkly Gold.” Almost all the effects on “Sparkly Gold” are real effects, real spring reverbs, etc. “Bleeding Moon” utilizes more delays and other digital plug-ins. The average listener probably cannot tell a difference, but “Sparkly Gold” is a bit warmer sounding. All in all, we are very proud of, and happy with, both albums.

No secret to Theodore Treehouse, just the sheer joy of making noise A By RICK JOHNSON

THEODORE TREEHOUSE: “THEODORE TREEHOUSE” HHH
cd REVIEW
7:30 pm
nybody who’s ever picked up a guitar and banged away on it just for the sheer joy of making a loud racket is going to love Theodore Treehouse’s latest self-titled release. Whether you’re a musician or not, even if you’ve just pounded on a drum kit in a friend’s basement or warbled off-key into a microphone on a drunken karaoke night, you know how much fun there is to be had in the simple act of making music. This is exactly the mood that Theodore Treehouse has captured. This band’s garage door is wide open, and everyone is having a blast. We know we’re in for some fun right from the get-go as the simple sing-song opening lines of “Friendship Bracelet” expand into an exuberant blend of whistles, handclaps and ringing guitars. Vocally, Ian Ferrell perfectly straddles that line between ironic indie-rock detachment and plain old garage-rock sincerity. What he lacks in range and control is more than made up for by enthusiasm and earnestness. And as Ferrell sings about “feeling blue as the sea” and “missing the leaves of New England,” what sounds like a gang of drunken friends joins in for shouts of “I’m busy with my radio!” Those type of backing vocals are present throughout the album, making the whole thing sound like a great and rowdy backyard party on a summer Saturday night. The fun continues on “Skyo,” where a
slide whistle kicks things off nicely and a galloping beat marches us along on a really great musical road trip. A sharp change in tempo near the end, combined with those rousing background shouts mark this tune as a future live favorite. The traveling vibe continues on “Trees and Wires” with Ferrell singing of deserts, fields of grain, deep oceans and the “wide expanse.” This is car radio music of the best kind. The song devolves into a joyous punky cacophony during its final minutes, segueing right into the album’s loudest and catchiest track, the infectious “Give Your Love Away.” Just try and sit still while listening to this one! Trust me… it’s impossible. The slow chug of “Headlights” sounds serious at first, but the fun creeps back in with some charming “la la la” backing vocals and another spirited chorus that finds Ferrell singing himself raw. The “Rawhide”-esque stomp of “Gallop” closes out the album in frenetically fine fashion, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself reaching for the “play” button again. Theodore Treehouse is one fun summer ride that you’ll want to take again and again. Download the album for $10 at: theodoretreehouse.bandcamp.com/album/ theodore-treehouse

Continued from Page E6 How did you come up with the band name if and it? The name comes from Theodor Seuss Geisel’s (Dr. Seuss) book “Hop on Pop.” I read “Hop on Pop” to my daughter Coco every night for about three months straight (at her request). My favorite page was always the page that said, “My little brother reads a little bit, little words like if and it,” so that is where our name comes from. How do you like to describe the band’s sound? What are some adjectives and/or phrases that come to mind? Our music has influences from rock, pop, country, alt-country, folk and indie. Most people would say we play indie rock, but we hear all kinds of things, as you could imagine. The first thing that comes to mind is “awesomebadassness” but some other adjectives include: Honest, heartfelt, moving and organic. Can you tell us a few random nuggets of if and it trivia?

The album artwork on the cover of “Bleeding Moon” is actually a dragon’s eye and not a moon. Listening to the title track ties it all together. Also, our album “Sparkly Gold” was almost named “All Dressed” after one of Ron Harrity’s favorite flavors of potato chips.

A
s ever, Christmas comes in July for Maine film fans, with the Maine International Film Festival opening tomorrow and running through the 22nd, bringing us its traditionally impressive lineup of locally made and international movies, prestigious guests from the film world and more. MIFF’s 15th season, which boasts “10 days, 100 films, 50 filmmakers,” offers plenty of incentive for Portlanders to make the journey to Waterville. “It’s only an hour and fifteen minutes north,” says Top, “Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai”; above, Shannon Haines, MIFF’s Hugh Laurie and Leighton Meester in “The festival director. “It’s an easy Oranges.” day trip.” Of course, for film freaks, Catherine Keener) and the acclaimed French MIFF’s roster of films is animated fairy tale “The Painting,” Haines is enough of an enticement.

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, July 12, 2012
dvd RELEASES â&#x20AC;&#x153;AMERICAN REUNION,â&#x20AC;? starring Jason Biggs and Alyson Hannigan. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been long enough since the ďŹ rst â&#x20AC;&#x153;American Pieâ&#x20AC;? came out that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entire generation who looks back on its release with nostalgia. Perhaps wisely, no attempt is made to reinvent the wheel for this sequel, subjecting Jim (Biggs), StiďŹ&#x201A;er (Seann William Scott) and the rest of the gang to various sexual humiliations and scatological pranks. As always, Eugene Levy is on hand to provide dependable laughs as Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-meaning dad. Rated R. Running time: 1:53 Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $34.98
â&#x20AC;&#x153;WAREHOUSE 13: SEASON THREE,â&#x20AC;? starring Simon Reynolds and Saul Rubinek. Well-written, frequently tongue-in-cheek series concerns a building in remote South Dakota that supposedly houses a wide array of notorious supernatural artifacts and the agents employed to see that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into the wrong hands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which of course they do, otherwise weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have no show here. Special features include deleted scenes and a gag reel. Not rated; contains language and violence. Running time: 9:22 Suggested retail price: $49.98
NEW TO BLU-RAY â&#x20AC;&#x153;ALTERED STATES,â&#x20AC;? starring William Hurt and Blair Brown. Cult fave from 1980 is one of director Ken Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more lucrative forays into heady, hallucinogenic weirdness. Hurt turns it up to 11 as Professor Jessup, a scientist who acts as his own guinea pig when he ingests a particularly potent genus of mushroom and plops himself into an immersion tank. As you might imagine, things get pretty strange from that point on, and Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;air for the ďŹ&#x201A;amboyantly odd produces some scenes and effects that have yet to be matched for their sheer audacious bizarreness. Rated R. Running time: 1:42 Suggested retail price: $19.98 â&#x20AC;&#x153;OUTLAND,â&#x20AC;? starring Sean Connery and Peter Boyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;High Noonâ&#x20AC;? is great and all, but wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be even more awesome if it was set in space? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparently the exact thought writer-direc-

tor Peter Hyams (â&#x20AC;&#x153;2010â&#x20AC;?) had when he conceived of this 1982 sci-ďŹ /Western hybrid, and it all comes together rather entertainingly, thanks in no small part to the invaluable gravitas of Connery as the intergalactic sheriff in question. Rated R. Running time: 1:52 Suggested retail price: $19.98
VIDEOPORT PICKS â&#x20AC;&#x153;BEING FLYNN,â&#x20AC;? starring Robert De Niro and Paul Dano. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise to anyone that De Niro can deliver a great performance, but over the past decade or so, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been coasting a bit. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a pleasure when a smaller ďŹ lm like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being Flynnâ&#x20AC;? affords De Niro the opportunity to set aside his bag of tricks and come through with a full-ďŹ&#x201A;edged character. Here, he brings to life a downtrodden wouldbe writer whose decisions and addictions have led to homelessness, a circumstance that ends up reconnecting him with his estranged son (Dano), a fellow would-be writer who appears to be falling into some of the same trappings as his old man. Rated R for language throughout, some sexual content, drug use and brief nudity. Running time: 1:42 Suggested retail price: $29.98; Blu-ray $34.98 â&#x20AC;&#x153;MARGARET,â&#x20AC;? starring Anna Paquin and Matt Damon. Writer-director Kenneth Lonergan impressed critics and audiences alike with 2000â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Can Count On Me,â&#x20AC;? a wonderfully touching and funny look at a pair of troubled siblings. Lonerganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-awaited follow-up (it was originally ďŹ lmed back in 2005) met with a great deal of postproduction conďŹ&#x201A;ict, and in the end, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Margaretâ&#x20AC;? was surrendered to the production company for ďŹ nal edit, leaving Lonerganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision unrealized. That being said, what remains is fascinating, searing stuff. Paquin tears up the screen as the titular teen, whose already dismal existence is not improved when she unwittingly causes a bus accident, innocently catching the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Ruffalo) attention and causing him to hit and kill a pedestrian (Allison Janney). Reaching out in her own standofďŹ sh way with varying degrees of success to the driver, her vain mother (J. Smith-Cameron), her callous boyfriend (Kieran Culkin), and a well-meaning teacher (Damon), her interactions tend to lead to more mental chaos rather than clarity or reassurance of any kind, so viewers hoping for a comforting resolution will instead receive cold, hard reality. Running time: 2:30 Suggested retail price: $39.99
Â&#x160;
â&#x20AC;&#x153;ADVENTURE TIME: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON,â&#x20AC;? animated with the voices of Jeremy Shada and John Di Maggio. One of Cartoon Networkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most beloved and acclaimed offerings these days is this whimsical, hugely imaginative animated tale of a boy and his magical dog and their endless quest for excitement in the Land of Ooo. With hilarious dialogue and a very singular animation style, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adventure Timeâ&#x20AC;? succeeds in entertaining parents as much as the wee ones, a feat moms and dads weary of Elmo and Dora will no doubt appreciate. Not rated; contains mild rude humor. Running time: 4:46 Suggested retail price: $26.95

â&#x20AC;&#x153;THE FLOWERS OF WAR,â&#x20AC;? starring Christian Bale and Ni Ni. From master director Zhang Yimou (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raise the Red Lanternâ&#x20AC;?), this sweeping and brutal historical dramatization focuses on the Nanking Massacre of 1937, wherein Japanese soldiers invaded Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital city and wantonly raped and murdered its citizens. In the midst of the madness is John (Bale), an American mortician who soon ďŹ nds himself posing as a priest to help protect a group of women taking refuge in a local church. Rated R.

at Maine Audubonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gilsland Farm and another 50 at Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in Boothbay. More than 50 New England artists are represented in the show, said curator June LaCombe of Pownal. The work in the two locations features birds, feathers, nests and other winged creatures, both representational and abstract. They are depicted in stone, steel, wood and bronze. The sculptures at Boothbay have a ďŹ&#x201A;oral theme, while the work at Gilsland Farm in Falmouth has an ornithological theme. In addition to this two-part show, LaCombe is exhibiting another 110 pieces in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Steel and Stone,â&#x20AC;? featuring works by Stephen Porter and Roy Patterson and dozens of other artists, at her Hawk Ridge Farm in Pownal. Collectively, the three installations afford a tremendous viewing opportunity for interior and exterior sculpture. It should be noted that the Audubon show has a different feel this year than in the past. Previously, most of the pieces were sited along Maine Audubon trails in Falmouth. This year, some of the pieces are situated in the butterďŹ&#x201A;y and perennial gardens near the main building, but most of the work is inside. At Boothbay, all the work is outside, offering viewers an easy and mostly accessible 1-mile hike. Boothbay visitors who are unable or disinterested in the hike can see almost the entire show with the help of a ride. The dual exhibition represents a new level of cooperation among the organizations, LaCombe said, noting that employees of both organizations have worked together in all aspects of the show, including cross-promotion of each installation. Artists include many names familiar to those who appreciate sculptural art in Maine: Lise Becu, Ray Carbonne, Jim Sardonis, Andreas von Huene, Cabot Lyford, Hank Tyler, Jean Noon and George Sherwood.

tures of wildlife have proven popular with viewers over the years, has one piece in the Falmouth show: An osprey with its wings open wide, sited out back on an open lawn. The self-described myth-making team of Andy Moerlein and Donna Dodson created a giant raven called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sentinel.â&#x20AC;? Made from twigs, it greets visitors on the road into the farm, standing tall high above the grass. LaCombe enjoys curating these shows because she is able to expose the work of her stable of sculptors to a much wider audience than she is accustomed. A lot of collectors come, but so do a lot of other folks who just enjoy a stroll through the gardens. She enjoys introducing as many folks as possible to sculpture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have told me theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to appreciate the art when they see it in a natural setting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They feel more at home, more comfortable and more appreciative of taking it in.â&#x20AC;? All pieces at both shows are for sale. Staff Writer Bob Keyes can be contacted at 791-6457 or: bkeyes@pressherald.com Twitter: pphbkeyes

After ascending the stairs to the second floor of the Public Market House on Portland’s Monument Square, I spotted something against the far back wall that I had not seen before: La Cocina Dominicana. Turns out it just opened a few weeks ago, so it’s not that I just need to get out more. But who am I kidding? I definitely do. My love for Dominican food is not a new one, although it had been a while since I dined on Big Papi’s native cuisine. So I was more than

happy to dust off my Spanish and have a lovely chat with Lourdes, who sent me away with a sack of deliciousness that I ate back at the office. I did a quick online search to school myself, and dined to the music of Juan Francisco Garcia, a Dominican merengue star, and some bachata music from Aventura. Headphones on, I took the cover off the spaghetti con pollo (spaghetti with chicken; $6.99) and dug in. It also came with white rice, but I decided the one-two carb punch might be too nap-inducing, so I asked Lourdes to skip that part. The meal (as do all meals) also came with my options of side salads: aguacate (avocado), codito (pasta salad
with tuna) or verde (green salad). I opted for the latter and a bottle of spring water. Two words: Muy deliciosa! The chicken was fall-off-the bone good, and although I’m not entirely sure what the brown sauce was covering it and the spaghetti – it was plenty flavorful without being overpowering. A few songs and several satisfying bites later, I patted my belly and sported a big grin. My only regret was not ordering a side of tostones (fried plantains) or platanos maduros (sweet fried plantains). Both are $2, and I will not hold back on my next visit.

‘Mad dogs and Englishmen’ in us deserve a beer
ith all of the warm weather recently, I was ready for summer beers – just something to enjoy on a hot afternoon after spending a lot of time outdoors. At Shaw’s, I saw Newcastle Summer Ale with an intriguing label – saying Hops and Glory on the neck but Summer Dog on the back, based on the Noel Coward lyric that only “Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.” It is made by Caledonian Brewing Co., brewers of Newcastle Brown, a beer I drank and enjoyed a lot of in the past but don’t recall drinking for several years. Upon pouring, this looked like a pale ale, and I was expecting the crisp, slightly bitter flavor of an English pale ale. Instead, it was quite sweet and fairly heavy on the malt, tasting almost like a brown ale. It had a nice head, and was crystal clear in the glass and very tasty. It is only 4.4 percent alcohol, which is perfect for a light summer ale. The price was about $13 for a 12-pack, and I am sure I will enjoy drinking these over the many warm days ahead.

fresh rather than dried hops, it was very strongly flavored with a floral hops without being at all bitter. Wife, Nancy, and son-in-law Christian both disliked this beer. I like it because it tastes and smells just like the hops we have growing on a fence at one edge of our vegetable garden. The mix of herbs and sweetness kept me going back for more. It cost $8.96 for a four-pack of 16ounce cans.

bicycle ride from Bethel to Belfast for the American Lung Association. This is an excellent American pale ale at 6.1 percent alcohol, and is fairly malty and sweet with balanced hops. It was a little bit cloudy, and had a nice head. It cost $3.69 for a 22-ounce bottle at RSVP in Portland, and is another beer that hits the spot, as we work through the hot days of summer. SWEET ACTION from Sixpoint had a mixed reaction from three tasters. As the name implies, it was a fairly sweet beer. But, since it was dry hopped with
ALLAGASH BLACK is now available in 12-ounce bottles. I picked up a four-pack for $10.39 at RSVP in Portland last week. The Belgian-style stout is not, of course, a new beer. It is part of Allagash Brewing’s year-round line-up of beers, and my personal favorite from the brewer. But it has been available only on draft and in 750-milliliter cork-and-cage bottles. Dee Dee Germain, a brewer and director of communications at Allagash, told me in January that Black in 12-ounce bottles would taste a little different from the 750-milliliter version, in part because the cork-and-cage bottles can handle more carbonation. I didn’t taste the 12-ounce bottles sideby-side with a 750-milliliter bottle, but I didn’t notice much difference. It is still a highly complex beer with wheat and oats, a lot of chocolate malt, just enough hops to balance out the malt and a fairly heavy viscosity. I think Allagash will be selling a lot more Black because of the packaging.
When you open a 750-milliliter, especially with a beer that is 7.5 percent alcohol, you need to have someone to share it with you. But a 12-ounce beer you can drink by yourself – even if hot summer days are not the ideal time to drink this heavy and complex beer. BAR HARBOR REAL ALE is from Atlantic Brewing Co., and I have drunk this out of bottles for many years, but mostly before I started writing this column. I considered it a good beer, but it did not stand out from the pack. I saw some on tap while I was waiting for a takeout order from Silly’s in Portland last week, so I gave it a try. Real Ale on draft blew me away like it never did in the bottle. It’s a dark brown with a lot of caramel sweetness, a nice taste of yeast, a creamy mouthfeel and almost no hops. Real Ale was a movement from the 1970s in Britain protesting the takeover of the beer market by national companies that artificially introduced carbon dioxide into the beer instead of having secondary fermentation in kegs or bottles. This beer is an ideal representation of what those real ales should be. I’m going to have to buy a six-pack of Bar Harbor’s Real Ale real soon to make a more recent comparison of the two.

bar GUIDE
Bray’s: It’s your grandmother’s house, plus a party By EMMA BOUTHILLETTE
aples was the place to be during the Maine Blues Festival a few weekends ago. My friend Melissa and I took a road trip out there to check out Bray’s Brewpub and Eatery. We were lucky to find a parking spot in the dirt lot beside the restaurant, because so many people were in town for the festival. Situated on Roosevelt Trail, the brewpub is inside an old, converted Victorian farmhouse. As we walked up the wooden stairs to the front door, it felt almost as if we were visiting Grandma who still lived in a large rambling house. But inside, we found a party unfolding as blues music flowed through open windows from the outdoor biergarten. Unfortunately, because of the blues fest, finding a seat at the bar was difficult. Just to the right of the entrance, the bar wraps around in an L-shape and has a few pub tables off to the side. The weather was nice enough to sit outside, but because of the festival, a bracelet was required to enjoy the biergarten that day. Instead, one of the friendly staff found us a small table to sit at in one of the side rooms. I ordered a pint of hard cider for $4.50, and Melissa ordered a glass of Riesling for $6. The waitress said they didn’t have a drink menu, but according to the bar’s website, they offer more than 30 different beers throughout the year, with about six on tap at all times, in addition to at least 50 bottled options from around the world. If you’re not into beer or need a recommendation on what beer to try, the bar staff is more than willing to help you make a decision. Just to the left of the restaurant and pub is the brewery. If you want to do some research before visiting Bray’s, the website lists all the beers brewed in regular rotation, occasional rotation, seasonally or for one night only. For the indecisive type, Bray’s offers the Brewer’s Annual One Night Stand. For one day in August, all of Bray’s brews will flow for you to try.

While Bray’s may be a little off the beaten path (it took us an hour to get there from Biddeford), it certainly has a lot to offer in addition to beverages. As I stood waiting for the ladies room, I perused the entertainment list for the month, which was a full page long. It features live entertainment every weekend with local bands. (But some of the ladies waiting with me complained that when a band is playing inside, you’re basically onstage when you’re waiting to use the restroom.) The only bone I had to pick about the drinks was that my hard cider was hardly cold. It was a warm day out and I had looked forward to an icy beverage, but the cider was almost room temperature when it was brought to me. I thought maybe it was warm because the bar was busy, but my roommate said the beers are never that cold there. Emma Bouthillette is a freelance writer who lives in Biddeford.
pollo, are perhaps the most tempting draw of La Cocina Dominicana’s offerings. Depending on which day you stop in, specials include ensalada de camarones, mangu con cebollas rojas (shrimp salad, mashed plantains with red onions); albondigas (homemade meatballs); sancocho con arroz blanco (hearty meat stew with white rice) and several other culinary creations. Prices on these range from $6.99 to $11.99, and are available in small or large lunch portions. La Cocina Dominicana takes phone orders from 9 to 11 a.m., and pick-up and on-site ordering happens between noon and 2 p.m. Although one could argue that the hours are a bit limited, I can say con mucho gusto (with much pleasure) that you shouldn’t let that stop you. Be sure to tell Lourdes I said hola! The staff of GO anonymously samples meals for about $7.

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, July 12, 2012
Continued from Page E13 “They’re all so good, but I highly recommend ‘Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai’ (from director Takashi Miike),” she said. “It’s a great modern take on the traditional samurai genre. Plus, I’m especially excited for people to see ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ (1968) on the big screen. We’re partnering with the Film Foundation to show a fully restored print of what might be one of the best movies ever made.” MIFF’s dedication to presenting the year’s best Maine-made movies continues with screenings of the Vinalhavenset thriller “Nor’easter,” the apocalyptic supernatural head trip “The Eighteenth Hour,” the documentaries “Hard Water” (about ice fishing) and “Dreamcatcher” (about contemporary dance), the films from this year’s Maine Student Film & Video Festival, and new Maine dramas “Like the Water” and “VacationLand” – among others. Plus, MIFF continues its legacy of honoring Hollywood royalty with its Mid-Life Achievement Award, which this year belongs to legendary editor Thelma Schoonmaker – who, in a career spanning four decades, has edited every one of Martin Scorsese’s films and won three Oscars. In addition, this year’s special guests include maverick independent producer Jim Stark (“Mystery Train,” “Cold Fever”) and longtime leading lady Karen Black (“Five Easy Pieces,” “Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean”), who also stars in the
Maine-set “VacationLand.” Each of this year’s guests will be on hand to present films and answer questions from attendees, continuing MIFF’s commitment to providing the public unparalleled access, a quality of which Haines is particularly proud. “All events at the festival are open to the public – there are no VIP areas,” she said. “We feel like the public should have access to everything.” Haines suggests that visitors check out the daily Filmmakers’ Lounge at the Mainely Brews Restaurant where, from 4 to 6 p.m. every day, attendees can share a happy-hour chat with many of the festival’s invited movie makers in an informal setting. “That’s the most exciting part of it for me,” said Haines. “MIFF really is a community event. It’s great to walk down the street after one of the screenings and hear people talking about the movie they saw or the issues it brought up. It’s a really fun time for everyone.” For a complete list of the films and fun, check out miff.org.

six-week class in filmmaking. It was there that she met Scorsese, who was having trouble with a 10-minute film he was making, as an editor had cut the negatives incorrectly, Schoonmaker said. The professor asked if anyone knew how to help. “I said, ‘Yes, maybe I can help him,’ ” Schoonmaker recalled. “I went over. He had been up three days working on his film. We sort of re-cut the film together.” After that, she and Scorsese parted, but they would work together again. “That’s how things began,” Schoonmaker said. “It was all accidental.” Editing has certainly changed during the years Schoonmaker has worked in the movie industry. At first, she was very reluctant to make the change to digital editing, but after she received training, she jumped right in and was fine, she said. “I find I experiment a lot more than I ever did with film,” she said. “It’s been a big change for the better, but it doesn’t change the art of editing.” Schoonmaker’s most recent Academy Award nomination – her seventh – was for editing “Hugo,” a 3-D Scorsese film about a young boy who lives alone inside a Paris train station and meets up with pioneering filmmaker Georges Melies. The film incorporated actual footage from the silent movie era into the story. “It was such a joy to work on and see young children respond to silent films,” she said. “It was just incredible, and we didn’t expect that.” Schoonmaker, who usually works until 11 p.m. seven days a week, said this is the first time in more than 25 years that she has had more than two weeks off. She relishes having the time to work on Powell’s archives, spend time at his cottage in England, and come up to Waterville to the film festival. “It’s been a blessed time for me,” she said. Much of Schoonmaker’s life continues to revolve around her late husband, who, in a conversation toward the end of his life, supported her love of New England. “I said to him, ‘I’ll retire to New England with a cat,’ and he said, ‘I would like that very much.’ ”

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, July 12, 2012 ome festivals have better slogan opportunities than most. Like the annual Central Maine Egg Festival in Pittsfield. If you were trying to attract folks, you could call it “egg-citing” and “eggsactly the kind of festival Maine needs.” Or you could say there are “dozens” of reasons to come and that good times are “waiting to hatch.” You could. Or you could just list an attraction like a 10-foot-diameter frying pan, a quiche and cheesecake contest, an “Egglympics” contest of egg-related races and stunts, and a parade. That’s basically what the Central Maine Egg Festival organizers have been doing for 40 years. And it works. They attract about 35,000 people for their five-day festival, located in a small picturesque town located between Waterville and Bangor. They do, however, refer to the festival as an “egg”stravaganza on the town of Pittsfield website. So that helps too. Not to mention the fact that this year, the Texas Flying Legends will fly their World War II fighters and a bomber into Pittsfield on the Saturday of the festival. This year’s festival runs Tuesday through the following Saturday (July 21) with dozens of events. There’s a street dance, art show and historical displays. There are the Egglympics for kids featuring a five-egg relay race, an egg toss, a rubber chicken throw, a squirt gun fight and other similarly wacky competitions. There’s a kid’s parade and kid’s carnival, a quiche and cheesecake contest, another parade, a sack race, a costume contest, a window painting contest, musical performances and fireworks. Basically, what started out as a celebration of the area’s egg farm industry has grown into a celebration of small-town life. In a big way. Steve McCarron, president of the festival, thinks it’s survived all these years because the main mission was never to just tout the egg. It was “to provide a venue where small central Maine non-profit groups can have a successful annual fundraiser,” he said. So although the festival idea was “hatched” as a way to celebrate eggs, today the egg connection is just gravy, so to speak. But the egg focus did provide the festival with its most unusual historic artifact – the giant frying pan, which was made specially

The festival’s giant frying pan, made in 1973, is 10 feet in diameter and weighs 300 pounds. for the festival in 1973. The frying pan weighs 300 pounds, was made by Alcoa Aluminum, and coated with Teflon by DuPont. At one time, it had a special gas burner placed under it to heat it up, but now it’s just for looks, because wear and tear has rendered it sort of unappetizing. The pan is so big, it has to be stored with heavy construction equipment at Cianbro in Pittsfield. But the festival itself can’t be contained. Even if the egg industry in central Maine isn’t what it once was, community spirit certainly is. Crack that in your pan and fry it.

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Continued from Page E27 summer for 30 years? “It’s the state soft drink, and for people in Maine – and people who’ve visited Maine – Moxie brings back a lot of memories,” said Deb Wagner, publicity chair for this year’s Moxie Festival. “Moxie evokes memories of Maine and the state’s quirky character, and that’s what we celebrate.” So when the three-day festival takes over the town Friday through Sunday, it will be a celebration of Maine’s quirky character, featuring a lot of quirky Maine characters. There will be lots of folks competing in the Moxie Chug’n Challenge, for instance. Seeing people drink as much Moxie as they can as fast as they can is not to be missed. Then there’s the big two-hour Moxie Festival Parade on Saturday, where all manner of Moxie-themed floats and people in Moxie-focused costumes march and prance. There will be historical displays, food, dance performances, fireworks, book signings, magic shows, a Moxie recipe contest, a fireman’s muster and a concert by The Mallett Brothers country-rock band. The Saturday-night concert is a new event added for the 30th anniversary of the festival.

Also new is a car show running much of the day on Sunday. What is old is Moxie itself, having been created in the 1870s by Dr. Augustin Thompson, a native of Union (although he is said to have invented Moxie after moving to Massachusetts). The soft drink was very popular early in the 20th century, and it has stayed popular in Maine. And it does indeed carry the designation of “official state soft drink.”
The festival has become a state tradition too, something the folks in Lisbon Falls cherish. “Summer in Maine, with lobsters and whoopie pies and Moxie – what could be better than that?” said Wagner. “Around here right now, it’s all Moxie all the time.” Staff Writer Ray Routhier can be contacted at 791-6454 or at: rrouthier@pressherald.com
