'I'm Carl Lewis!'
Presented by Rocky Mountain Women's Film at Peak Education Colorado Springs, CO
Join us in celebration of Black History month in partnership with Peak Education for a screening of I'm Carl Lewis! In a record-breaking career spanning 18 years, Lewis won nine Olympic gold medals across four Games and was voted “Sportsman of the Century” by the International Olympic Committee. Yet Lewis refused to be pigeonholed and, in doing so, he both revolutionized his sport and inspired cultural change. Almost 30 years on, Lewis’s legacy has failed to match his incredible success on the track. I’m Carl Lewis! delves into the consequences of his uncompromising drive, featuring unseen archive and Lewis talking openly about his extraordinary life, for the first time in a feature documentary.

Paizley Park - A Tribute to Prince
Presented by Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers Colorado Springs, CO
Paizley Park is a no-compromise tribute to one of the best-selling artists of all time. Created by Phillip Lamar—whose vocals and stage presence closely mirror Prince—the band was built with obsessive attention to detail, from studying live performances to recreating every musical and visual nuance. Formed in January 2016, the band gained rapid momentum after Prince’s passing just four months later. Featuring top-tier musicians, multiple costume changes, precise choreography, and spot-on arrangements, Paizley Park faithfully recreates Prince and The Revolution at their peak. The result is a powerful, immersive experience that transports audiences straight back to the Purple One’s legendary live shows.

'Raw, Concrete'
Presented by Cottonwood Center for the Arts at Cottonwood Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
The Brutalist Movement of the 1950s-1980s got its name in part from the French phrase béton brut—”raw concrete”. It inspired artists and architects to create works that solved societal ills: income inequality, housing and food shortages, and political instability in the wake of two world wars. Their achievements still sing through the decades in the forms of public housing design, modular furniture, and bold, legible typefaces. Adornment was eschewed, but beauty was not...the woodgrain texture of plywood formwork is still visibly embedded in concrete surfaces, rust is allowed to express its nature, glass is not just a window but a portal uniting inside and outside, and paint is applied with no intention of illusion. February’s call invited artists to create works influenced by Brutalism, showing us pure materials, utility and economy, and a message—either literal or implied—that what the world needs now is authenticity, raw and concrete.
