Under the Radar Festival: Bonanza January 15, 2011

This unique theatre-film event by Antwerp based multimedia collective Berlin brings to life an intimate documentary portrait of an abandoned mining town in Colorado. Unraveling somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, the lives of Bonanza's seven remaining inhabitants are projected simultaneously on five screens underneath a scaled model of their town. The citizens lead oddly charming and independent lives, but their individual quest for solitude is undermined by feuds, litigation, gossip and murder. A blend of film and theater, 'Bonanza' is a captivating portrayal of a small American town... a microcosm of the world.
