Over 25 films complete this year’s line-up, including Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath; Icon; A Jihad for Love; and Constantine’s Sword. Also featured are world premieres of Happiness Is and God Made Them Blind as well as a documentary by Community School graduate Lexi DuPont on her time in Cambodia. Featured speakers include Dick Grace of the Grace Family Foundation; Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table; and Dr. David Shlim, author of Medicine and Compassion: A Tibetan Lama’s Guidance for Caregivers.

Sheep traffic will again flock down Ketchum’s Main Street during the Trailing of the Sheep Festival. Enjoy a weekend of suppers, stories and shearing while celebrating this year’s theme, The Songs and Stories of Sheepherding. Learn about cooking with lamb at chef workshops and lamb tastings; hear Western tales from the likes of Hal Cannon and Rosalie Sorrels during Friday’s music and poetry event, Remembering When; and see sheep being sheared at Saturday’s Sheep Folklife Fair in Hailey. Sunday, watch as the Trailing of the Sheep Parade brings Ketchum’s tarmac alive with a wash of wooly mammals as hundreds of sheep travel to southern winter pastures. This commemoration of a 100-year-old tradition also features historic sheep wagons, the Oinkari Basque dancers and the Boise Highlanders bagpipers.
