Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour
Monday, February 13, 2012
The State Theatre
Solitaire (Special edit for the Banff tour)
USA, 2011, 16 minutes
Classification: General
Focus: Ski, snowboard
In the high desert of South America, winter takes hold, and a handful of drifters emerge from the whiteout, ready to cast their lot onto inhospitable lands and forsaken peaks. Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness is the inspiration for a poetic and visually stunning film that ventures beyond the frontiers of most mountain sports films.
Seasons: Fall
USA, 2010, 4 minutes
Classification: General
Focus: kayaking
Deep canyons with steep, spring-fed creeks provide Kate Wagner with a soul-session in this paddling paradise.
On the Trail of Genghis Khan: The Last Frontier
People’s Choice Award –
Australia, 2011, 46 minutes
Classification: General
Focus: adventure, exploration, culture
On an epic journey of truly historic proportions, Australian Tim Cope, his band of horses, and his dog Tigon travel overland 10,000 km from Mongolia to Hungary, following the footsteps of legendary warrior and nomad Genghis Khan. Cope visits distant parts of the world rarely seen, places on the cusp of modernity yet proud of nomadic traditions. The Last Frontier captures the culmination of his stunning three-year journey, the crossing of the Carpathian Mountains.
Blue Obsession
USA, 2011, 8 minutes
Classification: General
Focus: Ice climbing
The beautiful and ever-changing icefalls of Alaskan glaciers provide a stunning setting for some unusual ice climbing adventures
The Freedom Chair
Best Film - Mountain Sports
Canada, 2011, 15 minutes
Classification: Parental guidance – coarse language
Focus: Snow sports
Josh Dueck was an aspiring skier and coach until a ski accident in 2004 changed his life for good. Despite his comeback and success in the world of competitive sit-skiing, he wasn't content. Josh's dream is to tackle the backcountry and the steepest and wildest mountains in the world – and with his infectious outlook, he may just catch his dream.
Chasing Water
Best Short Mountain Film –
USA, 2011, 18 minutes
Classification: General
Focus: Environment
Pete McBride grew up on a ranch in Western Colorado, a child of the Colorado River. After a life spent visiting other countries to tell stories as a National Geographic photojournalist, in 2008 Pete decided to follow the water from his family’s ranch to see where it ends up. This is the story of Pete’s journey, and a story about the lifeblood of the American West.
Reel Rock: Sketchy Andy
USA, 2011, 22 minutes
Classification: Parental guidance – coarse language, some nudity
Focus: Slack lining, BASE Jumping, craziness!
American climbing dirtbag Andy Lewis is taking the discipline of slacklining into the future as he solos the world’s longest high-lines and masters the hardest aerial tricks, while pushing his equipment to the limit. As Andy goes higher, harder, and faster with climbing, slack, and B.A.S.E., we all wonder how far he can go before it’ll be one step over the line.
