Page 38 January 2011 Film Bar offers alternative experience for movie goers By Lindsey Herriges Texting friends about a new fi lmmaker in the neighborhood while relaxing at a bar is the alternative movie-going experience Kelly Aubey said he wants to give the Phoenix community when his Film Bar in downtown Phoenix debuts this month. “This is not like a Blockbuster,” said Aubey in comparing the Film Bar to a rental store for movies. The establishment is to have a bar in the front and a screening room in the back. Aubey moved to the downtown Phoenix area fi ve years ago, and after 15 years as a Web programmer said he decided to start his own business that would embrace today’s advanced technology and introduce movies most people have never seen or heard of. “I do not feel a lot of competition. Entertainment and alcohol are recession proof,” Aubey said. Since the Film Bar will be introducing little-known fi lms such as student fi lms and independent or low-budget fi lms, Aubey said he is going to use modern-day technology to keep the public engaged. Each table setting will have a list of movies with two-dimensional bar codes that, when scanned with an iPhone, will enable the viewer to stream trailers for upcoming movies that will be screened during the following week. “The fi lms will be much better,” said Steve Weiss, Film Bar’s fi lm programmer, as he compared the Film Bar’s movie experience to that of a typical theater. Weiss said an origial opening in November was delayed “a little” by the construction-permit and liquor-license process. He said The Film Bar should open “hopefully” Jan. 12. The Film Bar plans on reaching out to age-appropriate Arizona State University students and hosting student fi lms and student nights when those younger than 21 can attend. “That is going to be the hang-out spot. A movie and a drink of wine? Nothing wrong with that,” said 21-year-old Isaac Easley, an ASU junior. The Film Bar is at 815 N. Second St. in downtown Phoenix. Free Reading Level Screening Registration is required. When: 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Jan. 8 Where: Saguaro Library, 2808 N 46th St., Phoenix More info: 602-262-4636.

Page 39 January 2011 Camp Fair helps parents get early jump on offerings By Lisa Naujokaitis “Raising Arizona Kids” magazine will be holding its 8 th annual Camp Fair 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Feb. 26 at Tesseract Middle and Upper School, 3939 E. Shea Blvd. in Phoenix. “It’s a community effort putting together parents and camp representatives to offer options for camps and fi nd what the best match is for the child,” said Debbie Davis, operations director at the magazine. Representatives from day and night camps from Arizona, the Southwest and around the country, and as far as the Caribbean, will show up with information for parents looking to send their child to the right camp. Davis said representatives show up with brochures marketing their camp and some bring activities to draw in the kids like animals the Phoenix Zoo has brought in the past. Camps range from gymnastics to art, and tennis to science. The idea for a camp fair was based off of a similar one held at Judson School in Scottsdale until the school closed in 2000. “There was a need for it in the community,” Davis said. The fi rst year, Davis said a respectable crowd came, and last year 1,000 to 2,000 people attended the free event. The fair correlates with the magazine’s spring issue, which includes helpful tips about sending kids off to summer camps. Eighty- fi ve camps participated in the fair last year. Arizona Teen Tours, which went to the camp fair for the fi rst time last year, is planning on making it a regular event. “It’s a great way to stay connected with the community and help the parents out,” said John Currant, head coordinator of the camp. The camp offers outdoor tours for 9- to 16-year-olds. The camp fair helped Currant answer questions about the type of food the kids will eat, whether the staff has fi rst-aid training and other general questions. “A lot of camps fi ll up quick early, so it’s better to plan now to get the prime location and camp,” Davis said. “It’s never too early to start looking.” Native Trails Experience traditional and contemporary Native American song and dance as local performers bring ancient culture to life on stage during the ninth season. Presented by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and produced by the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Members of various Native American nations join together for rare, collaborative performances incorporating traditional instruments, colorful dances, and customary attire, showcasing their culture and encouraging respect, cooperation, and appreciation. Performers from tribes such as the Hopi, Dine’, Akimel O’Odham, San Carlos Apache and Cree will take the stage as they guide attendees on a unique sensory journey through time and culture that culminates in an audience-participation round dance, bringing the immersion experience full circle.
