Telluride playlist for Portland Friday, October 21, 2011
Yosemite Falls High-Line
Directed by: Renan Ozturk, Camp 4 Collective; 2010 USA, 4 mins; adventure/ personality
Filmmaker Renan Ozturk shows us a new angle on slack lining as Dean Potter attempts a perilous crossing at Upper Yosemite Falls.
Cold
Directed by: Anson Fogel ; 2011 USA / Duration: 20 mins; adventure/ mountaineering
Ascending an 8,000-meter peak is never easy. In winter, with temperatures plummeting to 30 below and colder and with snowstorms raging, it is nearly unthinkable. In fact, of the seventeen efforts to ascend an 8,000-meter peak in Pakistan in winter only one has been successful. That winter ascent of Gasherbrum II by Simone Moro, Denis Urubko and Cory Richards is the subject of Cold.
Lundberg Loses It
Directed by: Kenny Luby; 2011 USA / 9 mins; adventure/ skateboarding
Filmmaker Kenny Luby followed a day in the life of professional downhill skateboarder Eric Lundberg who has to transition from breakfast to trying not to lose it at 70 miles per hour.
On Assignment: Jimmy Chin
Directed by: Renan Ozturk, Camp 4 Collective; 2010 USA / 6 mins; adventure/culture
In On Assigmnent: Jimmy Chin, trains his lens on a man who usually stands behind a lens of his own. Climber, skier and mountaineer Jimmy Chin, a longtime guest of Mountainfilm, has spent his life behind the camera and from that viewpoint has chronicled incredible feats in some of the most breathtaking places in the world.
Towers of the Ennedi
Directed by: Renan Ozturk, Camp 4 Collective; 2011 USA / Duration: 15 mins; adventure/climbing
Renan Ozturk heads to the remote and sun-flattened landscape of the Ennedi Desert in northeastern Chad. It’s a hot, sand-scoured and unfriendly place, but from its vast belly rise clusters of spires, towers and rock formations that are breathtakingly lovely.
Desert River
Directed by: Ben Sturgulewski ; 2010 USA / 5 mins. adventure/ skiing
Sweetgrass Productions (Mountainfilm 2010, Signatures) offers a poetic ski film set to the haunting Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes song, “Desert Song.” The film provides a glimpse into the beauty of late season skiing in Haines, Alaska, as well as the extreme turns that still can be had as evenings deepen with long spring shadows.
Kadoma
Directed by: Ben Stookesberry; 2010 USA / 30 mins; adventure/human interest
"Kadoma" was a nickname for Hendri Coetzee, a legendary South African kayaker who had explored some of Africa’s wildest rivers. In December of 2010, American pro kayakers Chris Korbulic and Ben Stookesbury followed Coetzee into the Democratic Republic of Congo for a first descent of the dangerous Lukuga River. Seven weeks into the expedition, tragedy struck. Coetzee was paddling tip to tail in between the other two men when a fifteen-foot crocodile surfaced silently and swiftly pulled him underwater. He was never seen again.
Way Back Home
Directed by: Dave Sowerby; 2010 UK / Duration: 7 mins; adventure/trials biking
With trial bike in hand, Danny MacAskill returns to the old country to try a few new school tricks. Filmmaker Kris Moyes captured MacAskill at play in his hometown of Dunvegan, Scotland.
