Get More LVWITHLOVE Content at LVwithLOVE.com The SouthSide Film Festival is turning 21 — and it's still one of the Lehigh Valley's most vibrant, volunteer-driven cultural events. In this episode, George Wacker sits down with Festival Director Jen Cotto and longtime jury member Ben Bertalan to talk about the grassroots origins of the fest, how they choose which films to feature (“Would you pay $10 to see it?”), and what makes this year's event more international and community-driven than ever. We get into past favorites like Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, this year's picks like 25 Cats from Qatar and 40 Watts from Nowhere, and how the SouthSide Film Festival remains a celebration of weird, wonderful cinema — built by and for the Lehigh Valley. Festival Dates: June 10–14, 2025 (with a showing of Rooted on the 15th!) Locations: Cathedral Church of the Nativity, Touchstone Theatre, PBS39, and more Info & Tickets: ssff.org Watch Episode https://youtu.be/wErRTUrvj1Y Thank you to our Partners! L.L. Bean Outdoor Discovery Programs WDIY Lehigh Valley Health Network Wind Creek Event Center Michael Bernadyn of RE/MAX Real Estate Molly’s Irish Grille & Sports Pub Banko Beverage Company SouthSide Film Festival Turns 21 and Stays Purely Indie The SouthSide Film Festival returns June 10 through 14 in South Bethlehem. In this episode of Lehigh Valley with Love, host George Wacker talks with Festival Director Jen Cotto and longtime jury member Ben Bertalan about what makes this grassroots, international film event so unique. It began as a casual idea between friends at a coffee shop. Two decades later, it has become a fully independent, volunteer-powered celebration of independent film with global reach and deep local roots. “We are an international film festival. We have films from Qatar and Cyprus this year. Ireland. Almost every state in the United States.” — Jen Cotto What Makes a SouthSide Film? Each year, the jury screens hundreds of submissions. Films come through FilmFreeway, and the process begins in the fall. “We start meeting in September through April. We sit and we watch these films and we say, would we suggest people spend $10 to see this?” — Jen Cotto That simple question shapes every selection. Jury members consider story, plot, acting, technical quality, and whether the film offers something worth an audience’s time and money. A Festival Built on Volunteer Power SouthSide Film Festival has no corporate sponsors or large institutional backers. It operates on community energy and independence. “We are not affiliated with any other nonprofit in the area. Everybody thinks we're part of ArtsQuest. We are not. We don't get any money from them.” — Jen Cotto “We are such a best-kept secret in the Valley. If we were to get a bigger audience, I'm not expecting us to get Musikfest numbers. But we would be comfortable with two or three times the audience we have.” — Jen Cotto This Festival Is About Connection More than just screenings, SouthSide offers Q&A sessions with filmmakers and real audience interaction. There are no competitive prizes or red carpet ceremonies. Instead, there is conversation. “We don't really give prizes. We give an audience award, where people write in their favorite feature and short film. That's it. We don't offer a monetary prize.” — Jen Cotto What to Watch in 2025 25 Cats from QatarA documentary about an organization that rescues stray cats and brings them to the U.S. “That one's showing Wednesday night. The filmmaker is going to be there. It's a great film.” — Jen Cotto 40 Watts from NowhereThe story of a pirate radio station in 1990s San Francisco “I had read her book in the early 2000s. I was amazed. There's a documentary on it. Now I want to see it.” — Ben Bertalan How to Attend June 10–14, 2025 Info and tickets: https://southsidefilmfestival.com Screening Locations Cathedral Church of the Nativity Touchstone Theatre PBS39 Frank Banko Alehouse Cinema (Friday late-night screening) Festival HQ: Deja Brew Coffeehouse (tickets, info, programs) Want to Get Involved?

The best way to join is to stop by Deja Brew, message on Instagram or Facebook, or visit the website. “We are always on the lookout for people who want to help. Board members, volunteers. Some nights on the jury can get unruly, but we're always open to more people.” — Jen Cotto Listen to the Full Episode www.lehighvalleywithlovemedia.com/podcast/southside

Alle sechs Jahre veranstaltet die Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Musikverbände das "Deut-sche Musikfest" – ein großes Treffen der Blasmusikszene. Dieses Jahr fiel die Wahl auf Ulm und Neu-Ulm. Die Dimensionen sind rekordverdächtig: Die Zahl der Teilnehmenden geht in die Tausende, und die Veranstalter erwarten mehr Besucher als Ulm Einwohner hat (und das sind immerhin schon 125.000). Das Motto spielt auf die Verbindung der beiden Städte rechts und links der Donau an: "Musik baut Brücken". Es werden sogar neue Brücken gebaut - aus viel Licht und Klang. Die audiovisuellen "Sound Bridges" sind ein Beitrag der beiden Städte zum Musikfest. Rainer Schlenz gibt einen Überblick über ein Festival, das einen großen Bo-gen von Blasmusiktradition bis zum Experiment spannt.

Seit 1989 vereint das Deutsche Musikfest alle sechs Jahre die Bläsermusikszene in Deutschland. Heuer findet das Fest in Ulm und Neu-Ulm unter dem Motto "Musik baut Brücken" statt. Im Gespräch mit Johannes Hitzelberger stellt Michael Weber das Programm vor. Er ist 1. Vizepräsident der Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Musikverbände.

Am Wochenende vom 29. Mai bis 1. Juni findet in Ulm und Neu-Ulm das Deutsche Musikfest statt. 450 Musikvereine aus allen Bundesländern haben sich zum Deutschen Musikfest angemeldet. Auch ausländische Vereine kommen nach Ulm und Neu-Ulm, darunter einige aus der Schweiz. Während des Deutschen Musikfestes finden auch die Europameisterschaft der böhmisch-mährischen Blasmusik oder der Internationale Dirigentenwettbewerb statt. «Wir freuen uns, dass unsere Veranstaltung auf grosse Resonanz stösst», sagt Michael Weber im Gespräch mit der SRF Musikwelle. Er ist erster Vizepräsident der Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Musikverbände BDMV und Projektleiter des Deutschen Musikfestes. Michael Weber freut sich auch auf die Schweizer Besucherinnen und Besucher in Ulm und Neu-Ulm: «Bis auf wenige Sonderkonzerte sind alle Veranstaltungen kostenlos». Das Deutsche Musikfest ähnelt in vielerlei Hinsicht dem Eidgenössischen Musikfest. Es gibt viele Wettbewerbe und ein reichhaltiges Rahmenprogramm. Unterschiede gibt es zum Beispiel bei der Marschmusik: «Die ist bei uns in Deutschland nicht so populär», sagt Michael Weber. Beim Deutschen Musikfest werden zudem bewusst drei Links- und drei Rechtskurven in die Marschmusikstrecke eingebaut.

Die Militärausgaben sind letztes Jahr weltweit so stark gestiegen, wie seit dem Ende des Kalten Krieges nicht mehr. Umgerechnet haben die Staaten insgesamt über 2,2 Billionen Franken ausgegeben. Das sind fast 10 Prozent mehr als im Jahr davor. Weitere Themen: · Nordkorea hat zum ersten Mal bestätigt, dass es für Russland Soldaten in den Krieg geschickt hat. · Donald Trump fordert von Wladimir Putin, dass dieser "aufhört zu schiessen" und ein Friedensabkommen mit der Ukraine unterzeichnet. · Das Eidgenössische Musikfest soll 2031 im Sankt Galler Rheintal durchgeführt werden.

Im Vordergrund stehe für sie die Sachpolitik, sagt die frischgewählte Angela Koller nach ihrer historischen Wahl zur ersten Frau Landammann von Appenzell Innerrhoden. Auch wenn mit ihr und Monika Rüegg-Bless erstmals zwei Frauen in der Innerrhoder Regierung vertreten sind. Weitere Themen: · Eidgenössisches Musikfest 2031 findet im St. Galler Rheintal statt · Alpha Rheintal Bank mit 17.4 Millionen Gewinn · St. Galler Regierung will Velowegnetz überprüfen

Der Innerrhoder Gewerbeverband stieg mit vier Kandidaten ins Rennen um die zwei freien Sitze in der Regierung. Alle vier haben die Wahl an der Landsgemeinde verpasst. Der Gewerbeverband verliert damit einen Sitz in der Regierung an die Arbeitnehmendenvereinigung. Weitere Themen: · Der Kanton St.Gallen testet auf seiner Webseite eine KI-Suche. · Die Grünen Stadt und Region St.Gallen setzen neu auf ein Co-Präsidium. · Das eidgenössische Musikfest findet 2031 im St.Galler Rheintal statt.

Am Zürcher Sechseläuten präsentiert die Zunft zu den Drei Königen ihren neuen Zunftmarsch. Der «Drei-Königs-Marsch» wurde von der Zunft beim bekannten Dirigenten und Komponisten Christoph Walter in Auftrag gegeben. Er wird von der Zunftmusik, dem Musikverein Harmonie Wädenswil, am Montag, 28. April, am Zürcher Sechseläuten uraufgeführt. Exklusiv ist der Marsch am gleichen Tag auch in der Fiirabigmusig der SRF Musikwelle zu hören. Weitere Themen: Der Schweizer Blasmusikverband SBV hat an seiner Delegiertenversammlung vom Samstag in Schaffhausen Biel offiziell zum Austragungsort des Eidgenössischen Musikfestes EMF 2026 bestimmt. Biel ist eingesprungen, nachdem das OK Interlaken Ende November 2024 überraschend abgesagt hatte. Der Wechsel von Interlaken nach Biel wurde allerdings noch nicht offiziell von einer Delegiertenversammlung beschlossen. Für das EMF 2026 haben sich bereits 516 Vereine angemeldet: «Das ist für uns ein grosses Zeichen der Wertschätzung», sagt Michu Graf, Vizepräsident des SBV, im Gespräch mit SRF Musikwelle. Als OK-Präsidentin des EMF 2026 ist Nadja Günthör dafür verantwortlich, dass der enge Zeitplan eingehalten werden kann. Sie nimmt die Herausforderung sportlich: «Ich mache das mit Herzblut, das Vereinswesen ist mir sehr wichtig». Das Eidgenössische Musikfest gilt als das grösste Blasmusikfestival der Welt und wird alle fünf Jahre vom Schweizer Blasmusikverband SBV organisiert.

We were excited to learn about Damn Tall Buildings heading in to last year's Musikfest, and they more than exceeded expectations - becoming our "Best of the Fest" and fav find from the line-up.  We were then thrilled when they also agreed to come on the show.The fiddle player Avery Ballotta joined us in-person on their home turf of Brooklyn, NY.  Known as "Montana" as he's originally from Bozeman, we took a beautiful deep dive in to his personal story, his journey to Boston, how he changed his audition song walking through the door to perform, and how the band came together while at college.  Their busking spirit is where they found their path, and they've never looked back.During our chat, you'll also learn how to tell the difference between a fiddle and a violin, what micro-gravity is, and how to support their music making efforts in a manner that harkens back to the Renaissance times.  We share a bunch of their music along the way and even compare the distinct lyrical differences between a Max song and a Sasha song.  All written collaboratively by this brilliant trio.Do not miss the chance to see them play live, and I hope you enjoy this interview!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band". If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much! We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future. And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.

Happy New Year!  We kick off the year with The Hot Mamas - an all-female collective (coagulation?) full of depth and loaded with surprising instruments.  One member describes them as ... if you went to a junkyard and you had a bathtub and you filled the bathtub with everything you could find in the junkyard and then you put it on some skateboards and rolled it down the street, and then the bathtub tipped over and a bunch of hot girls in Scarves and bolas galore on roller skates roll up and they pick up the trash ... I mean instruments and they just start playing ... very professionally.With instrumentation ranging from toy piano, clarinet, banjo, accordion, ukulele, washboard, dueling kazoos to amazing harmonies, The Hot Mamas not only entertain and know how to have a good time but they also captivate audiences with their depth. Their writing styles range from jazzy to pop, from sea chanteys to murder ballads, soulful blues to drinkin'-when-you're-sad country tunes. The Hot Mamas are quirky, fun, profound and sincere and not to be missed!Joining us are Mallory McKendry, Jess Young, Maria Leckey and Jen Kidd and they'll share their personal journey's finding music and how the came together to form the super group.  We'll share their brand new single "Ford Escort", some other tunes from their catalog, a surprisingly awesome cover from their Musikfest set - and they'll perform live!Be sure to give them a like and subscribe, and catch a live show when they perform near you - they are incredible!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band". If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!
