This year’s tour includes films on cross-country snowboarding, mountain biking, skiing, rock climbing, skateboarding and kayaking.
Among the movies scheduled to be shown are:
“Cross Country Snowboarding”: A three-minute film from Canada, directed by Adam Brodie and produced by Geoff McLean. It follows two Nordic snowboarders who “battle the winter elements as they fight prejudice from skiers and regular snowboarders alike.”
“Light the Wick”: A 25-minute American film directed and produced by Steve Jones. The film follows the Teton Gravity Research crew as they hit the powder at Stevens Pass, discover the unskied big mountain playground of Petersburg, Alaska, and enjoy an epic powder day at Wyoming’s Jackson Hole.
“The Ultimate Ride – Steve Fisher”: A 19-minute film from the U.S., “Ultimate Ride” was directed by Erich Lyttle and produced by Scott Bradfield. In the film, kayaker Steve Fisher brings together big-water kayakers to experience the power of Africa’s Zambezi River.
“Tuzgle”: A 13-minute French film, directed and produced by Julien Nadiras and Vladimir Cellier, takes viewers to the Tuzgle volcano in Argentina. Cameras capture the action as Swiss climber Nina Caprez and her climbing companions discover this unexplored area of boulders and crags.
