We’re excited to announce the International League of Conservation Photographers will be in Telluride for the fest this year. Their newest project? 12 Shots, an outlet for emerging photographers to tell a story in just 12 frames.

Quick notes
Limye Lavi in Haiti is urgently looking for tents.
Not just your typical 2-man or even 5-man camp tents; they need BIG temporary structure type tents, the kind you might rent for an outdoor wedding reception.
They will be used as school rooms in rural villages. Last word was, they are looking for 150 large ones.
If you have a connection to someone with the means and equipment to donate 1, 5 or 100 tents, contact us (entries@mountainfilm.org) and we’ll put you in touch directly.
The 2009 Oscar nominations were announced early this morning, and we are happy to see a few familiar faces in the line-up. Mountainfilm alumni stacked the documentary feature category, with three films that screened at Mountainfilm 2009 in the running: Burma VJ, The Cove and Food, Inc.
There are also a few more films on the larger list that we’re looking to play in May, 2010. We won’t tell you which ones just yet!
If you didn’t get a chance to see any of these films at at a Mountainfilm screening or elsewhere, you’ll probably get more opportunities now that they’ve been honored with Oscar nods. Check out the trailers, below:

The Cove

A new doc in the works, Cool It, “aims to quiet the global-warming alarm bells that Mr. Guggenheim and his narrator, Al Gore, set ringing,” according to the New York Times. Read the full article here.
Bill Nathan, the freed slave who attended Mountainfilm in 2008 was the subject of a piece by Dan Harris of ABC News the other night. If you look closely, you can see a photo of him with author and activist Ben Skinner in Telluride at Mountainfilm when they won the Moving Mountains Prize.
