Know Your Mushrooms

Every August around here, the town hosts an unusual gathering: Telluride Mushroom Festival. Longtime documentary filmmaker Ron Mann (Grass, Go Further) attended the festival, and Know Your Mushrooms is the enjoyable and illuminating result. It explains how mushrooms have the potential to heal the world and shows—repeatedly—how mushrooms can take you to another dimension. The film features many Telluride locals, including county commissioner Art Goodtimes. We are pleased to present the Telluride premiere, but we’ll play it only it once because the film will run again at the Mushroom Festival in 2009. —DH
