SD festival drawing filmmakers to middle America - Centre Daily Times
ABERDEEN, S.D. ? It's a Friday night on Main Street in the small northern South Dakota town of Aberdeen, and it's supposedly a hopping one with the marquee event of the annual South Dakota Film Festival being held at the historic Capitol Theater.
And yet, the street is nearly empty. The chirping of crickets is only occasionally disturbed by passing cars or pedestrians. Cannes or Sundance, this is not.
Some might consider it an unfortunate side effect of being, well, in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota, in a town hugged by corn fields and the closest "big cities" - Fargo, Bismarck, Sioux Falls and Pierre - each being about three hours away.
But Tom Black doesn't see it that way.
"We're not the middle of nowhere. We're the middle of everywhere," said Black, a co-producer of the South Dakota Film Festival, which this weekend is in its sixth year.
Looking at a map, he's just about right. As long as film goers don't mind that cattle outnumber local residents, Aberdeen is pretty close to being smack dab in the middle of the country.
And it's that central location that has grown the small-town festival into a filmmakers' favorite, consistently drawing hundreds of people into the quaint-but-spacious theater each of the event's four days.
It's gotten so big, in fact, that organizers said they might need to spread to other downtown locations in the next year or two.
"It's charming here. It's a great theater," said Mike Scholtz, 42, of Minnesota, whose latest documentary "Wild Bill's Run" has won awards at both the South Dakota and Seattle film festivals. The "arctic crime caper" also has been accepted into the better-known Mountain Film Festival in Canada's Banff, Alberta.
"A lot of festivals are in hotel conference rooms, or just spaces that aren't as nice for film watching. This is a really nice space for it," Scholtz said.
Indeed, the Capitol Theater is the stuff of theatres past. Inside the lobby is an ornate chandelier and restored 1920s organ. The theater itself is adorned with turn-of-the-century embellishments and balcony seating. The screen pulls down over a true stage, one that's used for live performances by the Aberdeen Community Theatre.
It's a space Penny Stolsmark of Pierpont, S.D., has known since childhood - but Friday marked the first time she and her husband have visited for the film festival.
"We had to come. We've never been to this before, but we always wanted to," Stolsmark said. "We're big moviegoers. I'm thinking if we really like it tonight, we might VIP it next year."
What drew Stolsmark to this year's festival wasn't a new film, but rather one celebrating its 20th anniversary: "Thunderheart" starring Val Kilmer and Native American actor Graham Greene. Greene is arguably best known for his role in another South Dakota-filmed movie, "Dances With Wolves," for which he was nominated for a best supporting actor Academy Award.
The showing, followed by a question-and-answer period with Greene, was to be one of the festival's highlights.
Saturday is to feature a preview of upcoming films made in South Dakota, a six-minute silent flick called "Bus 1107," a horror film called "Werewolf in a Girls Sorority," and what Black describes as this year's big get: "Butter," a film starring Jennifer Garner that won't be widely released until Oct. 5.
And that's just a sampling. About 100 filmmakers entered their works; about half of those were accepted, organizers said. Many of the films have cast or crew from the Upper Great Plains.
"We'll tear about 1,000 tickets over the course of the weekend," Black said.
Scholtz, who made his first film in 1997, said Aberdeen - population 27,000 - will continue to lure him because it's a "filmmakers' festival."
"Everyone in the film community in the Midwest is aware of the festival," he said. "Average people won't have heard of it, but they have a really good reputation with filmmakers."
Black said that while the festival is heavy on Great Plains artists, it also draws filmmakers from Florida, Washington state, Washington D.C., and the rest of the country. People don't just love showing their work in South Dakota, he said, they like making it here, too.
Not only does the state offer the picturesque landscape that made "Wolves" star Kevin Costner a lifelong fan, but it's cheap for film workers, Black said. South Dakota doesn't have the income tax, union labor or hefty sales tax of some other states, he said.
"You may think Chicago isn't the middle of nowhere, but it takes a lot longer to get to Chicago for most people," Black said. "We're actually the perfect place."

Capita acquires business travel firm Expotel - ComputerworldUK.com
Outsourcer Capita has acquired UK hotel, business travel and conference booking agent Expotel Group for ?16 million.
Capita said the acquisition will "add reach and scale" to its existing operations in the business travel market and offer additional events and meetings management capabilities.
Expotel's current clients include National Grid, Virgin Media, the Scottish government and BP. Expotel made a pro forma operating profit for its financial year to 31 October 2011 of ?3.2 million on a turnover of ?16.3 million.
Paul Pindar, chief executive of Capita, said, "Expotel will bring both significant additional expertise and greater scale to our UK-focused corporate travel business."
Pindar said Expotel combined with its existing travel business would employ nearly 900 staff in ten locations. "With the public sector needing to drive down travel and subsistence costs, the business will be in a strong position to help local and central government achieve these aims," said Pindar.
John O'Brien, an analyst at TechMarketView, said, "Pindar is focusing his attention on the company's true knitting, IT-enabled business process services.
"In the public sector in particular there should be plenty of potential to drive out cost from travel and venue hiring."
Capita also acquired business travel firm BSI Holdings in December 2010, which provides travel services for Marks and Spencer, EasyJet and the Crown Prosecution Service.
Earlier this week it was reported that Mark Quartermaine, recruited just six months ago as managing director of Capita?s newly created IT Services operation, had left the company to join Juniper Networks as UK head of operations.

Human Behavior: The Hot Spot in Energy Efficiency
In ?Knowledge is (Less) Power: Experimental Evidence from Residential Energy Use,? Katrina Jessoe and David Rapson report the results of empirical research they conducted on how residential electricity customers responded when they were given access to real-time information on electricity usage and prices.
The conclusion: most people make rational economic choices if they have the wherewithal to do so. For better or worse, the overwhelming majority of consumers do not have this wherewithal.
The study is the most recent addition to the rapidly accumulating body of evidence supporting the idea that ?energy use is not determined just by the equipment we purchase, but how we use it,? as the American Council for an Energy Efficiency Economy puts it.
The complex linkages between energy efficiency, human behavior and information feedbacks is a hot spot in emerging energy efficiency programs, which are commonly called ?Customer Information and Behavior? (CIB) programs.
? Behavioral strategies are designed to accelerate information feedback loops,? said Greg Thomas, the CEO of Ithaca, NY-based Performance Systems Development. ?People will adjust their behavior rationally in response to information. These programs are trying to reduce the latency between action, learning and adjustment.?
Unlike traditional energy efficiency programs, information-based behavioral strategies rely more on the social, psychological and political dynamics that drive people?s decision-making process to reduce energy usage than technology or standards. CIB programs allow consumers to change energy consumption patterns by providing consumers with more detailed and timely information regarding energy usage patterns.
Several utilities are conducting pilot programs that use Home Area Networks (HAN), the household-facing layer of technology, to provide customers with real-time information on electricity usage and prices.
We?ll have to wait for the feedback before we can say more.
