The first Friday of each month, the Wildling Art Museum in Los Olivos, a museum devoted to the art of Americas wilderness, screens notable films about nature or art and invites the public to come see them free of charge. The Museum also provides free popcorn and cookies, wine, water and soft drinks. Reservations are not required, but space is limited and seats are available on a first come, first served basis.
On May 5 at 7 p.m. the Museum screened the documentary Cloud: Wild Stallion of the Rockies. Part of public televisions award-winning series, Nature, this two-part 112 minute film featured the true adventures of a wild stallion named Cloud. In one viewers opinion, Ginger Kathrens, the narrator, in discussing and showing the Pryor Mountain wild horse herd, does a wonderful job of showing how the horses live naturally, and how their lives are disturbed by the frequent BLM round-ups. The footage allows the viewer to feel like he/she is actually with the horses.
Cloud was shown at the Wildling Art Museums administrative offices, 2948 Nojoqui Street, Suite 4. For more information or directions, call 688-1082.
