MIDDLETOWN – Coyote Film Festival, Lake County’s Own Independent Film Festival, highlights a great assortment of short films and animation around poetry, spoken and unspoken words this Saturday, June 20, at the Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center in Middletown.

It will be a great opportunity to check out Middletown Days at Central Park nearby and then catch either the 1:30 p.m. matinée or a 7:30 p.m. evening screening. They'll have cordoned parking for the festival.

The lineup includes two sumptuously animated poems written and read by the incomparable Billy Collins; the documentary short, “Poetry Lives” by Mark Freeman; 2007 Oscar-winning animation, “The Danish Poet,” narrated by Liv Ullmann; plus short film, “The Ice Cream Man” by Dylan Rush and also the tale of “The Best Book Ever” by Lev Yilmaz as well as other surprises!

The cost is $10 at the door, $5 for kids 16 and under. Concessions and Coyote Popcorn are available for sale.

 

The Calpine Geothermal Visitors Center is located at 15500 Central Park Road, Middletown.
