Polnaszek submitted a letter to the city, outlining plans for a series of movies. “I want to make a Christmas movie in Chippewa Falls and more than that ... with Chippewa Falls as a main character,” Polnaszek wrote. “The script is written, the locations have been offered and I am still raising the money for principal photography (set for this winter.) As I have been presenting to folks and raising money, one question is: ‘Can this be the Chippewa Valley?’ With that question I am encouraged to (have) to the surrounding community for support. While I appreciate the Chippewa Valley, I LOVE Chippewa Falls and want to keep this a hometown project.” The website is chippewafallsmovie.com. The summary of the script

King Arthur, Wales film preview Nov. 24

Sailor, adventurer, filmmaker, and raconteur Taff Roberts will present a preview of his upcoming documentary, “The Legendary King Arthur and his Welsh Connections,” on Tuesday, November 24, at 7 p.m., at the Winona County Historical Society. The documentary will capture the 1500-year-old evidence of the Arthurian legend from its beginnings in Wales, as recorded by fifth- to sixth-century bards and later written by monks. Geoffrey of Monmouth popularized the tales in the 12th century. The legend was retold as courtly romance by the 12th-century French poet Chretien de Troye and again by Sir Thomas Malory in the 15th century. Monty Python and Hollywood have kept the stories alive in modern times.
