Summary: The community of Topanga Canyon, California is a very special place. It is surrounded by Topanga Canyon State Park, the largest wild land within the boundaries of a major city in the United States, and has always been a home of free-spirited, creative, innovative, artistic people who are able to strive and thrive in the natural, peaceful environment just minutes from the second-largest city in the country. Created seven years ago by filmmakers Urs and Sara Bauer, the Topanga Film Festival continues the community’s creative legacy. Featuring more than 50 films, as well as a documentary film competition and four days of panels and workshops, the festival takes place from July 28 – 31, 2011. Recently Joseph spoke with Urs Baur, who with his wife Sara started the event seven years ago in their Topanga backyard. Listen to Joseph’s pod cast and then go to TopangaFilmFestival.com to get more information on the festival and to purchase tickets for a single screening or the entire festival.
