Thursday, Feb. 5: Things to do in Carson City
Today kicks off the second annual International Film Weekend in Carson City. The main event is this evening in the Bob Boldrick Theater at the Community Center, a free showing of “Boy.” “Boy” is about a youth coming of age in the Maori culture in New Zealand in 1984.
Local-filmmakers will be featured this afternoon at Marlette Hall in the Cedar Building of Western Nevada College. The award-winning documentary, “Baking Alaska,” follows the adventures of a woman who leaves the security of her office job in Oklahoma to open a bakery in Homer, Alaska, with the help of her mother and sister. Following is a a short film on Native American culture by Gabriel Lopez Shaw, “Nevada Stories: Great Basin Pipemakers” captures master artist Hillman Tobey, a Northern Paiute living at the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony, teaching pipe-making skills to apprentice Norman Zuniga.
