Seven Directions Tours and Santa Fe Walkabouts have joined their experience and passion for the magical beauty of New Mexico and the Southwest to create quality adventures that are enlightening and fun. Their new partnership’s multi-day adventures, Southern Rockies Eco Adventures, combine slow paced cultural sightseeing trips with direct experiences into nature and bring together the region’s unique history and culture, and the diverse and marvelous natural settings, mountains, canyons, and rivers.

At the core of Southern Rockies Eco Adventures’ philosophy are respect for the wilderness areas and their wildlife, a wise use of the land, and the commitment to value and honor the cultures and traditions of the Southern Rockies.

The knowledge of Seven Directions Tours in designing and delivering unique tours and getaways and the experience in taking adventurous spirits on amazing pristine trails, canyons, and slopes garnered by Santa Fe Walkabouts are supported by the respective skills in creating exciting adventures in a highly professional and impeccable way. This is now available in several unique multi-activity packages, all of which can be customized at travelers’ request.

The multi-day adventures offered by Southern Rockies Eco Adventures include hiking or biking on the mountain ranges surrounding Santa Fe, Taos, and Southern Colorado; spending a day at centuries-old archaeological sites, like Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde or Canyon de Chelly, to hear the voices from the past and climb to the most distant dwellings. Alternatively one can choose three adventure-rich days in a comfortable campsite, with three meals a day, along the Chama River in Georgia O’Keeffe Country where other activities are made available, from horseback riding in the wilderness to reading Native poetry.

“Sue, Georges and I are very excited to be able to create something not widely available,” said Patrizia Antonicelli, owner of Seven Directions Tours, “and we are confident that it will be a lot of fun both for our guests and ourselves.”

This group is uniquely equipped to serve travelers from different countries and cultures. Sue was born in Myanmar, and lived in Malaysia for several years, before moving to the United States. Georges has his roots in Bulgaria and France, and speaks his native languages fluently as well as Russian, whilst Patrizia is a native Italian, who lived in London, and has extensive traveling experience. They all met in Santa Fe, New Mexico!

In essence, at Southern Rockies Eco Adventures one will find the best personal attention, very knowledgeable and dynamic people who can craft the most satisfying experience, based on the profound knowledge of their land, as well as organize all essential components of each adventure, including accommodation, transportation, and an exceptional service.

IFP Los Angeles Film Festival and the Festival Rag Announce Partnership










NEW YORK CITY, NY (PRWEB) January 23, 2004

The Festival Rag, a new online periodical dedicated to true independent filmmaking and filmmakers, has recently announced a new partnership with the Los Angeles Film Festival.

The Festival Rag, through the online entertainment portal KeMeK (http://www.kemek.com), recently emerged as a major voice in independent cinema. Since its flagship issue in November 2003, this new ally of indie-film has gained staggering momentum, and is now broadcast to thousands of media-industry subscribers. Yet, it is the Festival Rag’s grass-roots approach that, by turns, created a hub for the independent film community to network, aquaint and communicate.

The IFP Los Angeles Film Festival (http://www.lafilmfest.com), held annually for ten days in June, showcases the best of American and International independent cinema. With an attendance of over 40,000, the festival screens over 150 narrative features, documentaries, shorts, and music videos. Now in its tenth year, the Festival has grown into a world-class event, uniting new filmmakers with critics, scholars, film masters, and the movie-loving public. Slated for June 17 – 26, 2004, the IFP Los Angeles Film Festival promises to maintain its reputation for excellence in showcasing the best of independent film.

The Festival Rag will be recognized a Promotional Affiliate of the 2004 IFP Los Angeles Film Festival, in a partnership of two entities whose targets in the promotion of independent cinema are closely linked. “The primary goal for The Festival Rag is to amplify the voice of independent film,” says Myles Samuel Iezzi, Publisher of The Rag. “The impact of joining forces with IFP Los Angeles Film Festival will be profound because we share a similar vision in the world of independent cinema.”

“There are great films and filmmakers out there who can’t be heard over the hundred-million dollar din of the blockbuster,” says Dave Roberts, Managing Editor of the The Festival Rag. “Our mission is to help shed the light on these films by exploring the best venues for them to gain attention. The IFP Los Angeles Film Festival is one such venue.”

The union between the IFP Los Angeles Film Festival and The Festival Rag is regarded by both sides as being a great step forward in reaching the goal of catapulting independent film to a more broad audience. “We at the IFP Los Angeles Film Festival are excited to be working with the Rag to bring independent film to the people,” says Rich Raddon, Director of IFP Los Angeles Film Festival. The festival has left its mark on the world of independent cinema by forging another avenue for filmmakers’ work to be showcased, while The Festival Rag explores the meaning and depth behind the festivals and films that make independent cinema what it is today.
