SeanM,

I saw "Down from the Mountain" on June 6 at the International Film Festival here in Newport, RI. If you are near one of this festival's stops, by all means go and see the movie because, according to director D.A.Pennebaker, USA will not be releasing the film to theaters. Pennebaker and the Cohen Bros. tried to buy the film back from USA when they found out that there were no release or distribution plans by USA, but they won't sell it back to the producers/directors. The Cohens and Pennebaker took it upon themselves to enter the film in the International Film Festival as they felt the film was musically and historically important, carefully done, and deserved better. It will probably be released on video within the next year, however, as that is USA's biggest market. I hope you - and lots of other folks - can see it on the big screen, with good sound - it really is fantastic.
