The 15th VIMFF going downhill...but in a good way! With our night dedicated to skiing we bring you the best in heart-pumping speed and snow-white beauty.
Nick Waggoner from Sweetgrass Productions (Signatures, Hand Cut, and VIMFF 2011 Best Ski Film: Desert River) is coming up from the USA to present their latest film, Solitaire, along with stories from the end of the Earth about making award-winning ski films with human power.
We've got quite a line-up of films for this night:
The Freedom Chair
Josh Dueck was an aspiring skier and coach until a ski accident in 2004 changed his life. Despite his comeback, and success in the world of competitive sit-skiing, Josh’s dream is to tackle the back-country and the steepest and wildest mountains in the world.
Parallels
Parallels is a short film that explores the parallel experiences of various (or different?) moments created while playing in the mountains.
Downhill Affair: A Love Story
Is it possible to live the dream and still fulfill the responsibilities of a relationship?
This is a short documentary about the first downhill racing competition in Afghanistan.
C.A.R.C.A.
Canadian Avalanche Rescue Cat Association (C.A.R.C.A) chronicles one man's quest to revolutionize the world of animal avalanche rescue.
A cute short film, unique in our programming.
