Film Screening: “Rise, Ruin, and Restoration: A History of Lake Toxaway” + Director Q&A
The event is FREE! Registration required.
Join us for a local screening of “Rise, Ruin, and Restoration: A History of Lake Toxaway”, a documentary film that brings to life one of Western North Carolina's most captivating stories. The film, directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Dan Johnson, chronicles the creation of Lake Toxaway, the dramatic collapse of its dam in 1916, and the remarkable effort to resurrect the mountain lake decades later.
John LeRoy Nichols III and Dan Johnson’s deep personal roots in the region inspired them to take the interviews Nichols had begun capturing a decade earlier and create a documentary to preserve the area’s rich history. The film includes the story of Nichol’s grandfather, Reginald Davies Heinitsh, whose vision and determination made the lake's rebirth possible. The documentary project was expanded to include the fascinating tale of local legend Lucy Armstrong Moltz, whose Toxaway mansion would eventually become the Greystone Inn.
It's a piece of history that shaped Transylvania County and the broader Southern Highlands community in ways that have long gone untold. Whether your family has called this mountain community home for generations or you're simply passionate about the history and landscapes of the Highlands-Cashiers area, this is a rare opportunity to hear a beloved regional story finally given the telling it deserves.
This event is in partnership with the Cashiers Historical Society.
1:00pm: Film screening followed by a director Q&A.

The festival showcases curated and independent films from around the world in competitive categories, sharing stories that inspire, connect, and reveal our shared humanity.

Nu-Blu
This band hailing from Siler City, North Carolina the textbook definition of a picturesque small southern town, Nu-Blu’s heart and soul is husband-and-wife duo Daniel and Carolyn Routh. Carolyn’s caramel-coated soprano is one of the band’s defining traits, at times a tender lullaby, at times a freight train headed straight for you, but always unwinding a surprising tale. Daniel is the group’s backbone, a multi-instrumentalist and backing vocalist who also handles band management. Austin Hefflefinger on banjo, guitar, and vocals, and Justin Harrison on mandolin, fiddle, and percussion round out the quartet’s warm, layered, Appalachian sound. Together they deliver upbeat, blazing-fingers pick work just as well as gentle, heartwarming ballads, and they do it all with a natural togetherness that can’t be faked, forged over hundreds of shows on the road.

NTL Les Liaisons Dangereuses
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Among the glittering salons of the super-rich, patriarchy equals power, reputation is everything – and for women, one misstep can mean ruin.
Marquise de Merteuil, master in the art of survival, wields her influence with intelligence and control. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponize desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) and Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s (The Father) celebrated adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos’ classic novel – a thrilling game of love, lies and social warfare.
