A group of small-town Iowa musicians reconnect to record a song, rediscovering the power of community amidst the rise of isolated creativity and AI-powered art.
Language of the Living follows Damon Groen as he collaborates with the band The Ruralists to record his song, “i-20.” Over the course of three days in Sioux Center, IA, these old friends come together to create art that is raw, beautiful, and authentic, and they rediscover the gathering power of music, and the value of community as the world around them seems to go in the opposite direction. It is the first documentary film by director Jake Sandvik.

Cody Culture Club: Pioneer Ranches of the Cody Country
2026-01-08 17:30 - 19:30 | Cody Regional Health, 720 Lindsay Lane
Location: Pitchfork Room Cody Regional Health
Before barbed wire and property lines reshaped the West, Wyoming’s open range stretched nearly without end—vast seas of native grass that defined the region’s economy, culture, and identity. In this illustrated program, explore the remarkable era of open-range cattle ranching in the Cody Country during the late nineteenth century, when herds moved freely across the Absaroka foothills and early ranching enterprises took root in the Bighorn Basin.
This program traces the arrival of the region’s first major cattle operations in the late 1870s and early 1880s and introduces the pioneering ranchers who helped shape the landscape and its future, including Otto Franc, John Chapman, Henry Belknap, and Richard Ashworth. Learn how many of these early enterprises not only endured but continue to influence the ranching traditions of northwest Wyoming today.
Through historical photographs, maps, and original research, this presentation brings to life the world of cowboys, cattle barons, and homesteaders—and reveals how they transformed the Wyoming frontier from open grassland into a working and settled region.
