FILM DETAILS
SEE FILM TRAILER BELOW
Film Runtime (87 minutes)
Drop The Mic: Eliot Jackson's riding is as smooth, powerful, and improvisatory as the best jazz melodies. The bike is simply his instrument.
Annika - Where She Lands: Annika Malacinski is chasing more than a podium, she’s fighting for equality. Where She Lands follows the U.S. Nordic Combined skier as she pushes her limits while advocating for gender equality in the Olympics, balancing competition with a bigger battle to leave her mark, no matter where she lands.
If I Disappear: Author Jedidiah Jenkins retreats to a remote mountain shed for eight weeks to see if he can reclaim his focus.
Welcome To The Pit: In 2011, with his kids completely hooked on snowboarding, Steve Matthews set out to build Yellowknife’s first and only rope tow, inadvertently creating the epicenter of community and snow-sliding in the Northwest Territories.
Five Dot Fun: Chad is a climber in the Shawangunk Mountains of New York with a mission to share his passion for climbing and to contribute to the community that he loves.
Jamie: Jamie Logan – a pioneering alpinist, has climbed some of the most dangerous climbs in the world, but nothing felt as life-threatening as admitting that, at age 69, she wanted to begin living as a woman. This short film demonstrates that love and trust can be the ultimate act of rebellion.
A Baffin Vacation: Love On Ice: Adventure couple Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry set off on a 69-day epic across the rugged beauty of Baffin Island, packed with skiing, kite skiing, big-wall climbing, kayaking, and the most daunting challenge of all: figuring out their future together.
