Tap Into Film 72 Hour Family Film Slam





 EVENT KICKOFF: Thursday, May 5, 2022 

Register your team here: https://www.socapa.org/tapintofilm/

In addition to our competition wide Awards Watch Party, a local NEK screening will be held at the ArtPort immediately following the completion of the 72hrs on Sunday, May 8! Expect local awards and speakers.

 

After two years online, SOCAPA and Catamount Arts’ much-anticipated-annual Film Slam is going HYBRID with both in person and online components!

 

We miss the camaraderie of our local teams; the joy of meeting new teams; and the excitement of gathering together as a community to celebrate and watch your films. Therefore, we will be holding an optional, masked and distanced, in person kickoff event at the Catamount Arts 24,000sqf ArtPort! Teams can size up the competition; share war stories; or offer advice to newcomers while celebrating a return to some in-person activities. Attending teams will draw their required genre element live. (Please be familiar with Catamount Art’s Covid-19 Event Policies before planning to attend. Policies are subject to change based on prevailing health conditions.)

 

As always, the event is FREE to all! But please do consider a donation to Catamount Arts. Catamount had to temporarily close their doors for the first time in their 45 year history of supporting community arts and independent film in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. With your support, Catamount Arts will be here after the crisis, doing their part for our community’s recovery.

SOLO Wilderness First Aid & CPR

Initially offered in 1975, this course was the first of its kind in the United States, and it is the curriculum upon which all other backcountry medicine courses are based. SOLO CPR certification is included as a part of all WFA courses. This is a great course for mountain bikers, hikers, climbers, backpackers, backcountry skiers and other outdoor enthusiasts who venture out for day and weekend trips. Only current SOLO WFR graduates may use the SOLO WFA to recertify a current WFR certification.

Mushroom Inoculation Event
10:00 AM - 12:00 PM





 Mushrooms — you know they are a versatile and delicious ingredient, but did you know exactly how amazing these organisms are and that you can grow them at home? Join us for this in-person mushroom workshop where participants will learn about the lifecycle of mushrooms, basic types of mushrooms, and cultivation methods for edible mushrooms.

 

Participants will have the opportunity to inoculate logs with Lion’s Mane, Oyster, and Shiitake mushrooms, and will go home with their own log inoculated with oyster mushrooms, along with instructions on growing them.

Please bring: snacks or a lunch, warm layers, work gloves if you have them (we will have some to provide), and a mask for the indoor portion.

$45/person

Students and low-income participants can register for $20/person. See this chart to check if you are income level 1 or 2 and thus eligible for the lower rate.
